1.0*/5.0*

I'm not a big Bollywood fan, but Indian classics/arthouse films aren't that much better for me. They're shorter (for the most part), but that's about it really. Undecision is a rather murky and static adaptation of a classic Indian ghost story, but the fantastical elements are extremely underplayed, leaving a very plain narrative.

The fantastical elements are very much "tell, don't show". The pacing is rather slow, there's a strong focus on the visuals, but I can't say it was pretty, and the soundtrack was pretty distracting too. The result is a pretty dreary film that didn't just about everything wrong. But at least it didn't last 3 hours.
