Gaya, do you watch a lot of movies? Do you watch them in English or Tamil?

May I ask why you do these synopses? Is it to practice your English?

How does a ghost write a diary?

Apparently, the person died and became a ghost. (I'm not sure. I wasn't there. ;-) )

Gaya87, please explain how a ghost writes a diary.

 

[Gaya87]

Hi there, yes. I will watch in both versions.
I will use the synopsis for my blog and I like to give reviews on the selected movies.

That’s a good question! In reality definitely that’s impossible but it’s possible in the film world. It’s an entertainment movie therefore ghost can write diary ��

Note my corrections above.

Can I clarify something? Was it a diary written by someone when they were alive, but they are now haunting the place, or does the film maintain that the diary was written after the person's death?
