Ragini is not scared of them and neither are we. Soon enough, we meet the ‘scary twins’ and many more like them, all with eyes done in red makeup. With that kind of reference, our expectations shoot up, waiting for the first goose bumps. Her mother dismisses it as her imagination related to the movie they saw: The Shining. Ragini sees an eerie image of two creepy-looking twin girls clapping. We see Ragini and her mom enter their new home on a college campus. The episode switches to the second plot with a different set of people. Someone says, “ Main ganda ladka hoon” this line is repeated in subsequent episodes. The bridegroom finds one of his friends dead.

Soon rapid scenes switch to couples humping in the bedroom, and later in a car they suddenly see blood oozing out of their faces. The woman in the video is suddenly heard screaming, “Stop recording me”. A man with big, bulging eyes, appears out of nowhere and warns the men about something. The music gets louder and the grey walls lit in pink light, take on an ominous tone. Nothing unusual about it except that, two men in another room are watching a couple in a similar position on a computer screen, placed in a strange, spooky corner. A girl called Simran (Riya Sen) dressed in bridal refinery is approached by her lover and soon the two are in bed. The first part shows a wedding preparation at the college, 10 days before the first term begins. ( Bees saal baad, anyone?) The first episode has two seemingly unrelated plots. The plot begins when a college called Mathurdas Magilal Shaktipurwale (MMS, in short) reopens after 20 long years.

Ragini MMS Returns stays true to the voyeurism bit and spins an intriguing enough story around a mysterious CD. MMS videos by their very nature lend themselves to horror of a voyeuristic kind. Poster for ALTBalaji's Ragini MMS Returns
