5 best horror films directed by Vikram Bhatt

Horror is a genre that is being explored a lot in Hollywood and they also have franchises of horror movies. But in Bollywood, the horror genre is clearly dying. Filmmakers are either making horror-comedies or horror movies that showcase erotica more than the scary scenes. While filmmakers have lost their interest in the genre, there’s one filmmaker who still believes in the horror genre and has made some amazing horror films. We are talking about Vikram Bhatt.

On 18th October 2019, Vikram Bhatt’s next directorial Ghost starring Sanaya Irani hits the screens. But before this movie releases, let’s look at the five best horror films directed by Bhatt…


Raaz

The first one on the list has to be Raaz. Bipasha Basu and Dino Morea starrer is clearly one of the scariest films made in Bollywood. The way the spirit said ‘Sanjana’ in Bipasha’s ears, it gave us goosebumps and we all were scared that no one should call us like that.

1920

In 2008, Vikram Bhatt made a period horror film titled 1920. As the title suggests, the film was based in the year 1920 and was about a couple who shifts into a huge mansion and how their life changes as the girl get possessed. The film had many scenes that made us uncomfortable and Adah Sharma’s performance was appreciated a lot.

Shaapit

Shaapit is clearly Vikram Bhatt’s most underrated work. Starring Aditya Narayan, the film actually made us sit on the edge of our seat making us think about what will happen next.

Haunted 3D

Watching a horror film in 3D is something no one would have thought of. But Vikram Bhatt came up with Haunted 3D in 2011 and the movie went on to become a hit at the box office. It was clear that the Indian audiences were open to watch horror movies in 3D.

Raaz 3D

After the success of Haunted 3D, in 2012, Vikram Bhatt directed Raaz 3D. The third instalment in the Raaz franchise starred Bipasha Basu, Emraan Hashmi and Esha Gupta in the lead roles. The movie explored the dark side of black magic and surely gave us sleepless nights.

Saif Ali Khan reunites with the auto rickshaw driver who saved his life

Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan had an emotional reunion with Bhajan Singh Rana, the auto rickshaw driver who came to his rescue during a life-threatening situation. Their meeting was a true moment of appreciation and gratitude, six days after Saif survived a frightening attack.

The horrifying incident unfolded when Saif was attacked during an attempted burglary and stabbed six times. Saif, severely hurt and in pain, tried to find help whilst wearing a white kurta that turned crimson from his own blood. In his darkest hour, he met Rana, who displayed great courage and compassion.

Speaking to the media, Rana clearly recalled the night. He expressed his shock at finding Saif, bloodied and accompanied by a toddler, and frantically trying to figure out how long it would take to reach the hospital. Without hesitation, Rana urged Saif to get into his auto and sped to Lilavati Hospital. Rana reached the hospital in just 8–10 minutes, putting aside any thoughts of charging for the trip and focusing solely on Saif's safety

For days following the tragedy, storeys circulated about whether Saif would meet the man who had saved his life. On Tuesday, soon before being released from the hospital, Saif addressed those queries with a heartfelt gesture.

Shahid Iqbal Khan: ‘Faith is at heart of 10 Nights, but play has universal appeal’

OLIVIER-AWARD nominated play 10 Nights only came into fruition after writer Shahid Iqbal Khan overcame his own “assumptions and judgments” over whether a story set in a mosque would appeal to a non-Muslim audience.

10 Nights is a poignant and humorous exploration of faith, love, and personal discovery. It follows Yasser (Adeel Ali), who embarks on a spiritual journey as he takes on the challenge of completing I’tikaf – 10 consecutive days of prayer and fasting in a mosque during Ramadan.
