In the United Kingdom, 1927, a crowd waits for a performance to begin. The host apologises for the delay and going backstage, furiously tells a woman named Nafisa to call Ayush, who has locked himself in a room. They break the door down to find out that Ayush has slit his wrist.
The story then flashes back to 1921, when Ayush was in Mumbai. A wealthy man, Mr. Wadia, discovers Ayush's incredible talent and asks him to take care of his mansion Wadia Manor in New York in return for Ayush's educational expenses. Ayush is overjoyed to hear this and heads towards the mansion. Ayush is warmly received by both the housekeeper and the caretaker. Ayush is very delighted to enter the York College of Music.
Three months later, Ayush is doing paperwork when he is hit with an onslaught of paranormal activities. Closed doors open by themselves. Lights start flickering. Ayush sees a white light beckoning him to come closer, but he is always stopped by a woman's scream. He encounters a message written in blood in a room. He enlists the help of Rose, a fellow student at the college, who possesses a second sight. As both investigate, they realise the secrets that they both have kept individually about events of the preceding three months have more consequences and they both might have a deeper connection with the current hauntings than they can imagine. Ayush informs her that he can hear voices of a machine, and he can see a white light calling to him but as soon as he goes near he hears a woman's scream which prevents him from touching the light.
He narrates what happened three months ago when he arrived at the mansion. He allowed the villagers to enter the mansion and listen to his music for some money. One day his actions were discovered by Meher, Mr. Wadia's niece, and she blackmailed him into giving her a performance or she will have him fired. During the performance that night, she gave Ayush a poison and tried to dump him at a place so that he could die a slow death. But Ayush hit her making her unconscious. While coming back to the mansion, he saw a supernatural being on the way and lost control of his the car, resulting in Meher's death.
To his surprise, nobody confronted him about Meher's death. Later these paranormal events began. Rose conducts an investigation on the basis of Ayush's story. She learns that Meher never visited York. During their investigation, Ayush and Rose fall in love with each other. Some time later Rose reaches a hospital in which she discovers that the Meher Wadia who visited Ayush was actually their classmate Tina who had been dead for three months. When she sees the date of her death, she is horrified. She informs to Ayush that all the bad things are happening to Ayush due to her.
She narrates how she and Nafisa's roommate Vasudha were in love with a married man named Richard, but he was not ready to divorce his wife. One day she happily informed her friends that Richard was going to marry her as Richard's wife left him. But Rose was visited by the spirit of Richard's wife and was told that Vasudha had murdered her. She informed Richard of this, which was discovered by Vasudha and she attempted suicide. They tried to save her and admitted her into a hospital. But she eventually died and her spirit got hold of Tina's body who was admitted in the same hospital. She had been tormenting Ayush since she knew that Rose is in love with him.
Rose and Ayush become convinced that they have to get rid of Vasudha's spirit and so they decide to visit a church. Vasudha attacks Nafisa, which prompts Rose to take her to a hospital where she makes another horrific discovery. She finds that Ayush is admitted into the same hospital and has been in a coma since the night Meher Wadia attacked him. Rose informs Nafisa that she has been communicating with Ayush's spirit all along. She explains that when the human body is in deep sleep, its spirit wanders off, but they are connected through a rope in the form of a white light. Eventually the spirit can re-enter the body by touching it. Ayush's spirit has tried to enter its body, but Vasudha has all along prevented it from happening. The next day Ayush's body is going to be removed from life support, which would result in his death.
Rose takes a hair of Ayush to make it touch Ayush's spirit, but as she is about to leave the hospital, Vasudha's spirit takes control of Ayush's body. She threatens Rose that she will destroy Ayush's body if she leaves. She tortures Rose by hurting Ayush's body. Rose informs Vasudha that she knew she would not be able to leave and then she kills herself. Her spirit appears and reveals that she has already sent Ayush's hair and a letter to Ayush through Nafisa. Rose fights and destroys Vasudha's spirit. At the same time, Ayush's spirit enters his body and he is saved.
The film goes back to where it all started. Ayush in a death-like state meets Rose and tells her that he wants to be with her. Rose tells him that he has to live and spread his music for her. She asks it as a return for her sacrifice. Ayush eventually recovers and becomes a renowned pianist and musician.

Devesh Sharma of Filmfare gave the movie 2 out of 5 stars and wrote, "Vikram Bhatt has made an unintentionally funny film. He perhaps needs to go back to the drawing board before he takes up horror as a subject once more".[6]
And Buster Keaton makes his entrance on Movies Silently! I got a lot of requests for Chaplin but Keaton was a close second. To be honest, Keaton is quite intimidating to write about. He is one of the most popular and studied comedians of all time.
I should note once more that I am not going to be dissecting the comedy piece-by-piece. For me, it tends to kill the humor of a film and I want to see and enjoy this motion picture again. I will just give you some background and then get down to brass tacks (or the metal of your preference).
Like the previously reviewed A Night in the Show, The Playhouse is a thinly plotted short feature, little more than a setup to hang the gags on. It has two distinct sections, both of which I will cover briefly.
Buster wakes up, you see, and it turns out that there is just one of him and he is the gofer at the play house. The rest of the film involves his misadventures as he tries to keep the show up and running. I know that the first part of the film is the more famous section and I greatly admire its technical accomplishment but to be honest, I like the second half better.
The mirrors and twins are obvious but the substitutions and impersonations are great fun as well. Keaton is called upon to impersonate a monkey when he accidentally releases the creature. No sooner is that crisis over then he has to obtain a set of Zouave guards.
A soldier in the French army. Zouaves were organized in 1831 and were originally mercenaries belonging to a Kabyle tribe. The Zouaves in the pay of the dey of Algiers were, when Algeria became a French possession, incorporated with the French army there, preserving their Arab dress. Ultimately the native element was eliminated, and the Zouaves became French soldiers in the picturesque Arab costume.
Buster finds some ditch diggers to pass as the Zouaves and participates himself. During this scene, there is a cute throwaway gag of two one-armed men who are able to join forces to applaud the acts. Things get tense, however, when they do not agree on which acts deserve applause.
Keaton stepped out of his comfort zone in The Play House and was richly rewarded. While he returned to his stunt-filled ways once he recovered, he also was able to absorb the lessons he learned from this film and put them to good use. Everybody wins with this film; Keaton got to grow as a performer and we get to enjoy watching that growth.

I received a call late last night that friend and filmmaker, Joe Sarno had passed away. All of us at the studio were very close to Joe the last twelve years, archiving and re-releasing his films around the globe, allowing fans of old and new to enjoy the wonderful films that Joe wrote and directed.
