Surely I will not sleep tonight

At last after nearly 10 years I got to watch this movie. Normally I am not a person who watches horror movies but out of boredom I got to watch this movie. All characters food really well and for me I was impressed with the performance of Sonu Sood he just rocked it.I am gonna pray to God that I should sleep without any fear tonight
