They were kids – Om, Abhi, Jaideep, Imran, Gunita and Jyotika. And it all started as a game on a chilly Christmas Night. But little did they expect that night and that game would change their lives forever.

Twelve years later, while some still wrestled with memories of that fateful night and others left it buried deep within them, it was a past that came back to haunt them again.

This time it all started with a mysterious message – a catchphrase from their past – which results in Om, just out of asylum, getting a surprise visit from childhood sweetheart Jyotika. While the same message distracts Abhi, Om’s estranged brother and business tycoon, in a corporate boardroom, it disturbs Gunita, the damsel in financial distress, sends chills down the spine of Imran, the fat kid grown up into a muscular movie star, and intrigues Jaideep, the bully who’s graduated into a political hooligan.

Twelve years later, someone was bringing them all together. To play that game all over again! But this time it will cost them their lives!

Haunted by the past… Trapped in a shopping mall… Six best friends turn into worst enemies as they play… Hide & Seek

Hide and Seek could have been mildly diverting entertainment but it doesn’t make you scream or shiver

What could have been a reasonably engaging thriller is ultimately neither scary nor entertaining. It is, in fact, a solid waste of time

You couldn’t care less for these characters to bother with their bumbling back-story; never mind that the nuggets in the film itself don’t eventually add up

Hide and Seek tries to be a Bollywood slasher film, but it doesn’t have the requisite thrill-and- chill factor

It is worth a watch for the excellent storytelling only if you ignore the climax. The film certainly has its moments of chills and thrills

The tangled web of relationships does unwind gradually to reveal undercurrents that lead towards death and denouement
