Audience Member One of the best Bollywood horror movie Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member The Ramsays gave the audiences what they were known for - some blood, some gore and a campy, spooky experience with Purana Mandir. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member This Bollywood horror film kicked off the "Doom Boom", and deserves its status as a classic! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member So Puneet Issar was the bollywood version of superman. Puneet Issar is in this movie. I don't know what else you have to know to convinvce you to see it. There is some story about a decapitated monster who liked to rape and pillage before he was decapitated. He cursed the king and every woman in his family for cutting his head off. Flash forward a couple hundred years and the kings daughter is falling in love with a kid from the slums. OH NO! Not sure what is going on in this film, but it's amazing. This was really the first bollywood horror film, and supposedly controversial at it's time. All I know is it's good camp fun and I want a mustache like Puneet Issar. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Along with "Bandh Darwaza" on the same DVD set, my first exposure to Indian horror. Once you get past the teeth-grating comedy relief (I'm sure the "Sholay" parody worked fine for Indian audiences, and I may have found it funnier if I'd ever seen "Sholay" myself, although I'd still be wondering what the point of it was), it's a surprisingly good film, and the last hour is extremely effective. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member This film used to scare us when we were kids, but now it's just funny, maybe because it looks pretty dated. Still, it is a bit different to most Bollywood films. The scenes which spoof Sholay are completely pointless to the plot and ruin the continuity, although there are a few funny moments, and maybe were added in to offer a little light relief from the horror, which isn't that bad in the first place.
