Kucch To Hai

Kucch To Hai is horror film from Anurag Basu. Movie starred Esha Deol, Tusshar Kapoor and Nataasha in lead roles. Jeetendra and Moon Moon Sen gave cameo appearances. Anurag Basu was inspired by some Hollywood movies while writing this movie script.

Tashu (Nataasha) and Karan (Tusshar Kapoor) are students in a college. One they finds a new student Tanaya(Esha Deol) cheating in examination. Tashu, Tanya and Karan goes to a professor's house for question papers. But there they finds a dead body and runs away with fear. While they are running out professor follows them.

Darna Zaroori Hai




Ram Gopal Varma is one of the great honest person in India because he sincerely agrees to his failures. He scolds his bad movies publicly. But he never learns a lesson from his failures. Darna Zaroori Hai is the best example for that. This is a sequel for an utter flop movie Darna Mana Hai.






Like Darna Mana Hai, this movie also has different horror stories combined into a single story. An old lady tells horror stories to five children. She tells five different stories. At the end of the last story we find all the children were died. Amitabh Bachchan acted in this film without taking remuneration.




This movie also has a big list of cast- Ritesh Deshmukh, Mallika Sherawat, Anil Kapoor, Sunil Shetty, Sonali Kulakarni, Bipasha Basu, Randeep Hooda, Mohit Ahlawat and Nisha Kothari.

Darna Mana Hai




This movie was an adventure of Ram Gopal Varma. Every one appreciated his dare to give different movies to people. Darna Mana Hai was directed by Prawal Raman and produced by Ram Gopal Varma. This movie has a huge star cast.



This is a very different and fresh concept in horror genre. Six horror stories are combined with another story. Six friends go into a deep forest and forget the route. They stay in an old building. For time pass each of them tell a horror story.




First story is about a couple Karan (Sohail Khan) and (Antara Mali) who travel through a forest. Anjali watches somebody killing her husband while he is repairing the car. But later he returns back and starts driving. Later realizes himself that he is a ghost.



Second story is about Anil (Saif Ali Khan) who is going to Mumbai, on the way stops at a hotel. Hotel owner takes him into a room and shows some dead bodies who died because of smoking. Later Anil starts doing the same job at the same hotel. We realise he was dead because of the hotel owner who is also a ghost.



Third story is about a school teacher who kills his student. That student's soul takes revenge on him by entering into another student's body.



Fourth was about a housewife (Shilpa Shetty) who purchases an apple from a mysterious person. Next day morning she finds all the people who ate it were converted into apples.



In fifth story John (Nana Patekar) asks for lift in a car. He starts a foolish conversation to scare the car owner Amar (Vivek Oberoi). After finding Amar is a ghost he dies out of fear.

Final story was about a selfish guy Purab (Aftab Shivdasani) who misuses his power on an innocent girl Abhilasha (Isha Koppikar).



After completion of all stories one anonymous person enters into this gang and kills all the people while saying some horror story. Only Shruti (Sameera Reddy) manages to escape. Next day morning she finds her dead body with her friends' dead bodies.

Raat




Bollywood number one director Ram Gopal Varma's first straight film in Bollywood is Raat. In 1992 it was a very new concept in Bollywood. This movie was not a good success at Box Office but gave new hopes and thoughts to Indian directors. Ram moved this film with a different screenplay.



Story completely revolves around Manisha Sharma aka Mini (Revati). She is a college going girl. She moves to a new house with her parents. They don't know anything about the house. Their neighbour reveals the truth taht a couple died in that house years back. The lady's soul enters into Mini's body. Then on it's words she behaves very strangely. She won't know what is happening to her. Her boyfriend and her mother consult a magician (Om Puri) to cure her. With his effort Mini becomes normal.




Varma released this movie in Tollywood also. He gave a new style to horror movies with this movie. Without showing the ghost he scared the audience with sounds only. Madhur Bandarkar and Tollywood director Krishna Vamsi worked as assistant directors for this film. Mani Sharma who is a top music director in Telugu has made his debut with this film. Teja who is a famous director in Telugu worked as a camera man for this film.

Agyaat


Ram Gopal Varma is directing a movie named Agyaat in Hindi and the same movie Agnaat in Telugu. Varma was inspired by the Hollywood movie Predator. Based on the story in Predator, Varma wrote his script. Predator is a horror movie and Arnold Schwarznegger starred in that.



One group of people goes to the forest and after entering into the forest one by one they will die. A mysterious personality kills these people. They fail to identify whether that is man or an animal.

Arnold Schwarznegger in PredatorLinkRam Gopal Varma is concentrating on this movie to make it a blockbuster. In Hollywood graphics were also one important reason for the movie's success. But Ram Gopal Varma never depends upon graphics. That is a movie which came decades back. We will find it unnatural if all the scenes in the movie were shot similarly. This is a sure test for Ramu's original talent.

Nitin Kumar Reddy
Nitin Kumar Reddy is the Telugu guy playing the lead role opposite Nisha Kothari in this movie. Ram Gopal Varma after bad disasters like Phoonk and Contract failed to get producers also in Bollywood for his next film Rann. So the audience is expecting he will make this film a sure hit.

Bhoot

Ram Gopal Varma was fresh from a series of successful hits when he was filming this movie. Following the hit films like Jungle, Company, Darna Mana Hai, Ram Gopal Varma worked on this film. Varma mixed crime and thrill in this horror story.LinkLink

Bhoot starts with a couple Swati (Urmila Matondkar) and Vishal (Ajay Devgan) who are in search of a home. They finds a flat on the 12th floor of an apartment building. After moving into that apartment, Swati comes to know that a woman comitted sucide in that apartment through her the neighbours.

Swati experiences many scary things which almost makes her mad. Vishal consults a psychiatrist Dr Rajan (Victor Banerjee) and one of their well wishers calls an exorcist (Rekha). They declare that some soul has entered Swati's body.


One day they find the watchman of that apartment was killed by somebody. Vishal meets the mother of that woman who killed herself in that flat. When the soul inside Swati watches her she reveals all the truth. Her neighbour Sanjay (Fardeen Khan) forced her to spent a night with him and she would have jumped from the balcony to protect herself. Sanjay and the watchman throw her son from the balcony who would've watched his mother's death.

She also reveals she killed the watchman with the help of Swati's body and would be planning to kill Sanjay. With the request of her mother she leaves Swati body. But kills Sanjay in jail who is arrested by Inspector Liaqat (Nana Patekar).

Phoonk


After Darna Zaroori Hai, Ram Gopal Varma once again came out with the horror movie Phoonk. This time he used black magic as the main theme. Varma knows how to scare people with sounds and lonely places and silent scenes. But he kept away from all those things in this movie.

He concentrated on two things. One is black magic and the second about the people who don't believe in black magic, which was refelcted by the two leads in the movie.


Rajiv (Sudeep) is a successful contractor and an atheist with a good family, a beautiful wife, a daughter and a son. He never believes in God, ghosts and evil. But later struggles with the evil and depends on God and magicians. With this character the director justifies his tag line Its a Superstition Until It Happens To You.

One of Rajiv's business rival Anshuman (Kenny Desai seen in Black) and his wife Madhu (Ashwini Kalsekar) wants to destroy Rajiv's family. Madhu applies black magic on Rajiv's daughter. Rajiv thinks that it is a disease but later realises it is not and tries to protect his daughter.


Ram Gopal Varma failed to handle this horror flick. He took a wrong step in the story line and could not connect the two aspects of the story. No one expects this type of movie from Varma in the horror genre. Music director Amar Mohile tried his best to give life to movie. Camera work by Savita Singh in the movie is incredible.

Kannada Chocolate Boy Sudeep played a lead role as Rajiv and was impressive. Ahsaas Channa as daughter of Rajiv gave a good performance for her age. All the remaining characters are okay. But Ashwini Kalsekar fame of Aashiq Banaya Aapne is very bad with most of the people finding her annoying.
