Technology is a boon… but it can be a bane too. And you realize this as the reels of 3G, a psychological thriller, unfolds. Coincidentally, in AA DEKHEN ZARA [2009], produced by the same production house that produces 3G, which starred Neil Nitin Mukesh and was penned by Shantanu and Sheershak [who turn directors with 3G], the on-screen characters could peep into the future with the help of a camera. This time, in 3G, the incessant phone calls scare the daylights of the lead pair.

In the mood for chills and thrills? Let’s explore… Several storytellers in Hollywood have attempted technology-based movies. These films veer into bizarre and wacky territories and appear fascinating for movie-watchers who love out of the box experiences. 3G is a novel experience in the sense that the director duo use cell phone as a gadget to instill fear and terror, but the screenwriting is so botched up that instead of transforming into a nail-biting experience, the film nosedives into clichés and never-ending occurrences, so much so that you can’t help but feel that the potential was squandered by inept writing.

It’s said that every minute, thousands of ‘Phantom Calls’ are received worldwide. These calls have no known source of origin, no numbers and cannot be traced.
