THE BUILDER of this Apartment has nothing to offer, neither good location, nor design forget about beauty and aura. Well the Apartment, movie made by Jagmohan Mundra fall in the same category of nothing but just structure. If there is any thing worse than a Hollywood remake that's just plain awful, it is one that should be good but doesn't turn out that way.
Apartment is remake of Barbet Scroeder's 1992 thriller Single White Female.
Like its Hollywood version, Apartment of Bollywood is also about a young, working woman who takes in a roommate (Neetu Chandra) after throwing out her live-in boy friend (Rohit Roy) because he is unfaithful to her.
Actually in apartment, he isn't even unfaithful. Preet, played by Tanushree Dutta, happens to walk into the house when a model in too-light clothes is wiping her cleavages with her boyfriend's cooking apron. But the room mate who replaces him turns out to be a bad, very bad bargain. The mentally unhinged girl slowly usurps everyone’s life and even resorts to murder.
The treatment remains the same as the Hollywood version, but there is uninspiring cast of Tanushree Dutta and Neetu Chandra, renders Apartment into a tortuous, tormented.

The story moves ahead, when the supposed suspense sets in when Chandra becomes obsessed with Dutta, and has problems when her friend reunites with Rohit.
Performance ranges from po-faced wooden (Dutta) to dreadfully over the top ( Roy). Anupam Kher sleepwalks in his tiny turn.
For those who haven't seen Single White Female, Apartment is a middling, so-so thriller. For the rest this is a monotonous and misguided mess.
Think twice before planning a hangout in any cineplex, i have wasted my time and energy to find a single moment of joy in the movie, unfortunately there was none. Go at your own risk.
