- DirectorPartho GhoshParto GhoshRaam LaxmanStarsJackie ShroffMadhuri DixitJaaved JaaferiA young, clairvoyant woman has a vision of a murder and sets out to uncover the truth before the killer finds her.As a fan of Bollywood films, I found this to be an almost exact, extended, re-telling of the Italian Lucio Fulci thriller, 7 note in nero (1977), translated Seven Notes in Black, which was known in the USA as The Psychic. A woman with a gift of ESP has a vision of a murder, finds the body years later in a walled up section of a house owned by her new husband, and sets out to find the killer, and in so doing, brings on more murders.

- DirectorKeshu RamsayStarsRakesh RoshanMarc ZuberAalokaInspector Shyam is investigating the murder case of a woman which leads him to 4 men who are heading to Goa,Shyam along with his constable Hingirani heads to Goa,Shyam also shares a past the murder of his girlfriend Anjili.In Goa he is staying in a plush scenic hotel where he meets a pickpocket er Reem whom he keeps as assistant and hides his identity.Kumar Saxena is a night club singer in the hotel while Shyam is gathering evidence against the four culprits one by one of them get killed and suspicion leads to Kumar.'Haveli' is a slasher in the guise of giallo, then it's also a payback themed film, and furthermore it's also, if not overly, a decent horror film. The film draws huge references from Italian giallos and American slashers of the late 70s and early 80s. The tale is twisted and delivers where necessary. The horde of versatile actors like Rakesh Roshan, Marc Zuber, Pinchoo Kapoor, Mazhar Khan, Sujeet Kumar et al don't let this film slump in the course of its run. 'Haveli' is quiet atmospheric at places and arouses creepiness. This one is fortunately not a rubber mask monster tale with an insufferable dose of comedy. I am specially pointing out comedy because Ramsays' are notorious for appending useless comedies in their films.
Inspector Shyam (Marc Zuber) is investigating the death of a promiscuous woman and his investigation leads him to 4 men, who are soon heading to Goa. The police Chief (Pinchoo Kapoor) sends Shyam to Goa for gathering clues about the culprits. Shyam reaches Goa with his chatter-box constable Hingorani (Rajinder Nath), who can never shut his mouth. Little does anyone know that Shyam has a dark past. He often laments the murder of his girlfriend Anjali (Aaloka), and curses himself for not being able to save her. He is therefore trying to redeem this opportunity to even out his past failure.
At Goa, Shyam falls for a small time pickpocket Reem (Reem Kapadia) and informally labels her as his assistant. He introduces himself to Reem as Pritam. He does so to hide his identity as a Police officer. Shyam boards a scenic hotel with Hingorani where all 4 suspects are enjoying their vacation. He also finds a certain Kumar Saxena (Rakesh Roshan) there, who is a singer at the hotel's night club. Shyam is waiting to gather evidences against the culprits but before he is able to do so, the culprits begin dying mysteriously at the hands of an unknown stalker. Shyam suspects Kumar of orchestrating all the murders as Kumar or some of his belongings are always found near the dead bodies. As the body count goes up, the mystery grows deeper and deeper and Shyam finds himself racing against a traumatized, shrewd, brutal and wicked killer, who is bit too clever.
The ring leader of the accused is Mazhar Khan, the owner of Hotel. The brutal murders of his friends has made Mazhar lose his mind and he is seeking police security. Shyam tries to take him in confidence to ease up his worries, and promises that he will save him against all the odds, but the question is, will he be able to do so? Beware! A figure is loitering in the dark alleys, art gallery, and secluded cubicles of the Hotel with a razor-sharp knife, a locket and a terrifying mask. Certainly the figure's intentions are vicious and deadly.
There are several factors that make 'Haveli' interesting. Budget-wise, the film looks decent. This one has been shot at the beautiful locations of Goa. Its an irony that the Hotel with more than 100 rooms and several occupants looks desolate and spooky. It looks that the killer has access to everything and is one of the deadliest masqueraders. Rakesh Roshan as Kumar is appealing and his role certainly deserves more attention. The ending is a twist and viewers may belittle themselves for being so goofy all the way. The score is haunting, lingering and superb. The Ramsays' have used a 6-note piano score during the stalking sequences, which has shades of John Carpenter's slasher classic 'Halloween'. Before 'Haveli' Ramsays' had made 'Sannata' in 1981, which was also a quick paced giallo cum thriller. 'Haveli' was one of the numerous failed attempts to revive the dying genre of giallo in India. Well, it is this effort that makes 'Haveli' watchable and enjoyable. Not at par with 'Gumnaam' or 'Teesri Manzil', 'Haveli' still remains a Saturday night classic. - DirectorKetan AnandStarsNaseeruddin ShahShabana AzmiKanwaljeet SinghThe city is rocked by a series of brutal murders. All the victims are women of lose character or prostitutes, and all have been brutally slain. Inspector Arjun Dutt is assigned this case, and he launches an investigation. The only clue is part of a photograph. Arjun concludes that these murders are being committed by a young man named Vikram alias Devendra. Arjun's superiors do not agree with him, and fault him. His superiors also find out that Vikram was Arjun's close friend, and both were rivals for the same woman, Kiran. The point to ponder is why would Arjun want to accuse Vikram, a man he has known since his college days, of these heinous crimes?The city is rocked by a series of brutal murders.

They happen to see a car that's speeding up. The speeding car belongs to a dreaded gangster Ranjeet. Deepak and Surendra beat Ranjeet in the rash race and Ranjeet is impressed by Deepak's driving and asks him if he can be his chauffeur. Deepak doesn't pay attention to Ranjeet's offer at the moment, but soon finds that his brother Surendra hasn't submitted the examination fees and may be hence debarred from the examination. Deepak wants to help his brother and goes to Ranjeet for help. He tells Ranjeet that he is ready to work for him. Ranjeet in turn gives Deepak some advance, and thus destiny brings two of them together. Surendra scores good marks in the exams and soon applies for Police service. His dream comes true, when he passes the tests and is called for training.
Ranjeet often travels abroad and runs his international racket of smuggling and other illegal activities. He is assisted by few white-collared men, who are his business partners. They are 9 or 10 in number. During Ranjeet's one such absence, Deepak and Asha fall in love. Their relationship is objected by Ranjeet's partners. Since they don't dare say anything against Asha, they insult Deepak and tell him that love between rich and poor dies out with dire consequences. Deepak and Asha overlook the warning signs and choose to remain free-spirited love birds. After few days Ranjeet returns and discovers that Asha is pregnant. His partners tell him about Asha's ongoing affair with Deepak. A hostile and enraged Ranjeet summons Deepak to his saw mill and questions him about his intentions. Deepak simply says that everything happened unintentionally, but now that it has happened, he is ready to accept Asha and spend his life with her. Ranjeet is seeking a blind revenge. He disgraces Deepak and knocks him down unconscious. When Deepak regains his senses, he is horrified to see himself tied to a log, that is soon about to be flanked apart by the saw. Deepak tries to make Ranjeet understand but Ranjeet is simply seeking revenge and considers Deepak's punishment necessary to reclaim his lost honor. Deepak's hands are cut and he is thrown in a sewer pipe.
In the subsequent scenes, Deepak's deplorable and pitiable conditions are shown. His ailing mother is unable to support two of them. Deepak doesn't want to share all this with Surendra, thinking that Surendra would come to them leaving behind the golden path of his career. In a memorable scene Deepak is so helpless that he is unable to eat a crumb of bread from his own plate and a stray dog enjoys his meal. Soon Deepak's ailing mother is subjected to intense mental torture by the house owner, who makes fun of their pathetic condition and demands rent. Deepak's mother is ill but wants to support her family and so does handy jobs for her neighbors. The neighbors, however not so good, keep taunting Deepak and his mother on their misfortune. Deepak is also manhandled by some of the village folks on Holi. Unable to bear the bad times, Deepak's mother goes to Ranjeet for help. Ranjeet is nowhere to be seen, but Deepak's mother is ridiculed and badly insulted by Ranjeet's partners, who also try to seduce her. A bewildered Deepak arrives there and seeks truce but Ranjeet's partners drive him and his mother out. The same night Deepak's mother commits suicide. Next day, Deepak finds her dead body and also a bottle of poison lying on the floor. He cries a helpless cry. The same Day Surendra comes back from his training and is shocked to find himself in a highly grievous situation. Deepak, however keeps things to himself. When Surendra asks about the train of events, Deepak simply says 'There was darkness everywhere, and the same darkness swallowed all of us.'
Now the real horror begins, Ranjeet's partners are now being stalked by an unknown assaulter who is giving them dreadful deaths with his mysterious long fangs and claws as hard and sharp as steel. The death sequences are not quick and induce much horror. Some of the death scenes are specially memorable because they capture jinxed images of the setting Sun and are sepia tinted. Such color patterns remind me of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre and I am forced to remember a Chainsaw Wielding Leatherface! Andhera can't truly be compared with TCM, I am just talking about few scenes that give you somewhat parallel feelings. The storyline is very tight and doesn't go astray and one can easily speculate the impending horrors that may arise from someone's misfortunes. We also see the hypocrisy of so called 'big wheels' of the society who themselves are engaged in all the illegal activities but consider 'love' as an illegal or unsocial act. I really don't understand how such people draw a borderline between good and bad. I like this flick because of its enjoyable nature. I don't consider someone's misfortunes enjoyable, I consider those horrors enjoyable, which are inflicted upon the wrongdoers. I would like to say this to every ardent Bollywood horror fan, "Find this flick somewhere! You won't be disappointed." - DirectorRam Gopal VarmaStarsUrmila MatondkarManoj BajpayeeSushant SinghWhile alone in the house, a woman hears news of serial killer on the loose. And then a stranger rings the doorbell...It's a rainy day and a young woman is all alone in the house. She is shown talking to her family on the phone, anxious for them to come back to the house. Adding to her anxiety is the television, which announces that a killer is on the loose. And then, the doorbell rings. Who could it be?
- DirectorVidhu Vinod ChopraStarsShabana AzmiAmol PalekarNaseeruddin ShahWhen a starlet is murdered on a film location, a detective arrives to investigate the cast and crew.it's great to watch such an excellent group of actors work together and I was interested in how the director would choose to conclude the film. Pankaj Kapoor, Naseeruddin Shah, Shabana Azmi and Amol Palekar are first rate. Azmi plays the Hitchcockian heroine with class and poise. Shah does a fine job as the fiery detective determined to solve the case. Palekar is cast against type and he is superb even though he has limited screen time. Soni Razdan does a decent job while the rest of the cast range from average to bad.
