When a movie production in the middle of the jungle is halted for a few days, the production's native guide Setu (Joy Fernandes) decides to take the key cast and crew on a roundtrip through the jungle, just to kill time - after all, there are no dangerous animals in this jungle, so what's the worst thing that can happen, right? Then Setu's found dead, killed by something that might have been neither human nor animal. The others soon realize they're on the run while whatever-it-is (it's invisible, too) is not far behind and picks them out to kill them one by one. As if that wasn't bad enough, soon tensions break out between the film's arrogant male star (Gautam Rode) and its action director (Ravi Kale), a situation that ends in murder and the breaking up of the group.

Ultimately, only assistant director Sujal (Nitin), actress Aasha (Priyanka Khotari) whom Sujal's in love with, and Sujal's assistant Sameera (Rasika Gudal) are left running, but Sameera is in love with Sujal, and when she notices romance is blossoming between him and Aasha, she kills herself to not stand in their way and give them a better chance for survival. When pretty much all is lost, Sujal notices whatever-it-is can't stand water, so he and Aasha cross the next river and escape ...

 

Quite obviously taking more than the occasional inspiration from Predator, Agyaat is first and foremost ... not a very good film. Basically, the film takes about half of its running time to kick into geat, filling up the first half with setting up a bunch of characters that seem little more than clichées or not particularly funny caricatures. And once the killing starts, it's just too random to suggest any real thought went into the script. Likewise, while it is often a good idea to not show the monster of whichever story, here it just seems cheap, not so much on a budgetary as on a narrative level, as if the writers just wanted to get out of explaining anything. Plus, the finale with Sujal and Aasha saving themselves is rather pathetic, as are most of the murder scenes - if they don't happen off-screen altogether, a little too much is hinted at rather than shown even for today's mainstream audiences.

In all, rather disappointing.
