If anyone has truly explained what horror films are to the Bollywood audience, it is director Vikram Bhatt. Born in Mumbai on January 27, Vikram Bhatt's first film was not a horror film, but when he started making horror films after that, people roared in theaters.
Today let us know about Vikram Bhatt. Will know what films he has made. And what makes the horror films he made different from the horror films made before his arrival in Bollywood?
Vikram Bhatt's first film was Jaanam in 1993. After that, he also made films like “Fareb” and “Ghulam”. But he gained his name and recognition through his horror films. In 2002, Vikram Bhatt made Raaz with two new faces, Bipasha Basu and Dino Morea. The songs in this film were great and stayed with people for years to come. But what was special was the way fear was portrayed in this film. This time he did something new. Ghosts with large nails and disfigured faces were not kept in the film to scare people. In fact, the entire movie was made so that every part of it was scary. The characters of the film Ashutosh Rana and Bipasha Basu were as scary as the spirit of the film.
However, Hollywood began producing such films years ago. But this was new for Bollywood. Where only the music, the events and the story of the film scare you. The film became one of the biggest hits of the year.
Before the arrival of Vikram, Bollywood had a few creators like Ramsay Brothers who presented horror films to the audience. However, there were restrictions at the time not to overuse the technology. For this reason, the Ramsay Brothers created horror by using artificial teeth, nails, and faces of ghosts painted with red paint to instill fear. Although the budget was low, these films were good collector's items. But after 2000, Bollywood had changed and the audience here had also changed. Therefore, all these things were not enough to scare people. In such a situation, with the arrival of Vikram Bhatt, people started enjoying horror films again.
Vikram did films on the Raj series. Apart from this, he has also tried his hand at thriller films apart from horror films like 1920, Haunted and Shapit. Like the hate story series Mr. According to the information available on IMDB, one interesting thing related to Vikram Bhatt is that his surname is Bhatt but he is not related to Mahesh Bhatt. Yes, it is different that he has definitely directed many films that have come under the production of Mahesh Bhatt. Vikram will introduce 'Bloody Ishq' to the audience in the coming days. The shooting of the film has begun.
So if you belong to the Genji generation and haven't seen Raj yet, you definitely need to watch this film. If you like horror, this film will make you a fan of Vikram Bhatt.
