I am not pretty much impressed with this one. It has some comic scenes. I don't appreciate horror and comedy going side by side. If you compare this one with the first part it is hard to imagine that same crew has made this one too.

The movie is about a woman in Rajasthan who lives alone. Soon a Rudali comes to her place to stay. A Rudaali is actually a professional mourner who cry on the death of upper-caste males. The movie shows the life in Rajasthan and it's culture from a very close perspective and hence it's interesting to watch.
