Hum Kaun Hai - Somewhere between squee & head explosion

[neadods]

I like Bollywood, mostly for the bouncy musicals. But I also like horror movies - well the suspense ones, not the Grey's Anatomy "oh, that was a spleen flying by" ones. So I thought it was time to try a Bollywood horror movie. They're not all musical comedies, after all. Hum Kaun Hai looked prime; the plot sounded a bit like my absolute favorite, The Others.

Oh. My. God. It IS The Others! I'm watching The Others, almost word-for-word, in Hindi! (With really bad English subtitles. "Not a single door in this house will open till the time you don't close it properly.")

I can't wait to see if there's a song and dance number!

ETA: There isn't. *pout* Just some wierd subplot about the husband being reincarnated.

How cool would a zombie movie be as a Bollywood movie? Have you ever seen THIS??

I have, and it makes me laugh like a loon every time.

Bollywood Thriller

Oh man! I was hoping to astound and amaze you!

I can never quite get over that one.

It's so wrong and so right at the same time.

I say that as a person who routinely drives into school blasting 'Balle Balle' from Bride and Prejudice on the stereo JUST to fuck with people.

Honestly. Nobody does OTT cheese like Bollywood.

I like "No Life Without Wife," from B&P, but I admit I have trashy taste in music. The lyrics are an offense to Austen, but I like it anyway.

I can't decide if she's horrified by his dancing, or that outfit....

(you know it probably squeaked every time he rotated his pelvis!)

I don't know about Bollywood, but I LOVE The Others!!! <3 Such a great movie.

My favorite of all the suspense horror films. Even over The Sixth Sense.

Alas, this is a not very good remake, with no music to mock. :( They have added some wierd scene where you see the father, alive, saying he's never had a marriage or a family but had a wierd dream about the house and its occupants. I don't see where this adds anything to the story.
