Hide and Seek is a suspense thriller. This film revolves around 6 friends Om, Abhi, Jaideep, Imran, Gunita and Jyotika. 12 years back, when they were young, they had played the game of Hide & Seek on a Christmas night. But something happened that day. Something such as rape, murder or something similar to that which panicked them and they ran away. Later on all got separated. They lived their normal lives for 12 years. But some of them could still remember the horrible incidents that took place that day. Though, a few of them buried into their heart the whole incident.

But 12 years later, someone brings them together and takes them to an isolated mall and they are forced to play the game of Hide & Seek once again.

It seems that they are captivated into the mall. They fear for their lives and try to run out of the mall but can't do that.

One by one they go on being killed. Finally the killer is revealed.

The director has succeeded to some extent to create suspense. However the narration & the presentation could have been better. The dialogues are average. Suspense films don't require heavy dialogues. Scripting is also okay. Even the screenplay can be said to be good.

Background score is excellent and meet the requirement of a suspense film. Cinematography can be said to be average.

As far as songs are concerned, they are flat. Editing is fine & crisp. Costumes & the art department have worked hard.

On the performance front, Purab did his job well. Others too tried to justify their roles.

The film is in Agatha Christie style and would remind you her story 'The Three Blind Mice'.

If you love watching suspense, crime thriller, you can go for it!
