The first thing that comes to the mind is the extended song sequences in foreign locales and glitzy star-studded ensemble movies to name a few.
What it isn’t known for is horror movies. It’s a genre associated with Ramsay Brothers’ pulp, only occasionally touched upon by Bollywood’s big directors and actors – the likes of Ram Gopal Varma and Urmila Matondkar in their heyday, for example – which means that territory is left for up and coming faces and directors who are willing to take the bait. It doesn’t help that majority of the plots in Bollywood horror films are inspired from or outright copies of international cinema.

Excluding campy horror like those from cult favorite Ramsay Brothers, it seems like Bollywood has tried and tried again and then again to scare the daylights out of us. But compared with its Hollywood counterpart, it’s a tough task.
While last year’s releases like The House Next Door and Dobaara: See Your Evil didn’t quite make a splash, in 2018 we’ve set our sights on Pari.
The upcoming movie is backed by Anushka Sharma’s Clean Slate films and stars the actress in a lead role. Going by the positive reception of Anushka’s previous productions NH 10 and Phillauri, we’re waiting with bated breath for this one. The trailer of Pari, which is less than a minute long, released a day ago and has already raked over 25 lakh views.
