For those
truly dedicated fans of bizarre Asian cult cinema, here is another mind-wrapping
production from India's king of sleazy exploitation, Kanti Shah (see HUNGRY
MONSTER). This story deals with two brothers - Ranbir and Pratap
- living in a remote mansion on the edge of a cemetery. Ranbir is the
serious one, while his brother is constantly playing jokes, especially
mean spirited scares. Then one day, Pratap is actually possessed by a
demon. Brother Ranbir locks Pratap behind a door. But he manages to free
himself and is banished into a bottle by a magician. However, he escapes
from that trap, too. Pratap goes looking for a female body that he can
possess to enact revenge against his brother and niece. Sexual mayhem
ensues.
This
movie has it all! It's a fever dream for fans of bad cinema. Sloppy editing,
really lousy camera work, girls parading around in too-small bras, Vinod
Tripathi [once again] unnecessarily playing multiple roles, out-of-shape
guys flexing their machismo, monsters in uncomfortable latex masks, and
some of the most incredulous dialog ever spoken in any motion picture
[ie, "I wonder who killed Shetty," | "I just can't
figure it out, who would want to kill Shetty?" | "I don't know,
Shetty didn't have enemies," | "Sweetheart, it doesn't matter
that he was killed. Let's forget this unpleasantness and make love instead"
| "Yes, you're right."] And in typical Kanti Shah style, that
exchange (as well as the rest of the dialogue in the movie) is shouted
directly at the camera with the characters standing side-by-side, punctuated
by constant thunderbolts for effect.
