Ghoul - Betrayal Is Close
Indian cinema and horror, they are like hero
and villain they can’t go together. Talking about old horror films, they were
really scary, now I don’t know why they were so, maybe I was just a kid that’s
why or maybe they were really scary. Who knows? But still the horror element
was there even if the same old story of a couple staying at a “haveli” was
repeated over and over again. Making a horror cinema is very difficult, because
the director has to make people feel two things, the thrill and in the back of
the mind the horror element, and that is something not everyone can do. Netflix’s
new reel Ghoul is such an attempt towards this, and I must say they have blown
my mind!! I mean if we ignore the acting part of extras, Ghoul is
something which will really make you feel something. For me it was more of a
thriller less of horror but still it was something which I have not seen for
many years.
Radhika Apte’s (as Nidha) and Manav Kaul starrer Ghoul is a story
of such a time where nationalism is above all, and every person who questions
the State is labelled as “anti-national”. Ghoul is about Nidha who was recently
recruited in an advance interrogation camp, for interrogating one of the most
wanted “anti-national” of all time. This gist of Ghoul may give you a feeling
that the series is more about nationalism rather than a horror flick but
believe me, this is not the case. Nationalism is just the cover up given by the
writers the main theme is Ghoul.
In conclusion, not a single moment was there,
where I got bored, not a single! The three episodes were full of thrill, horror
and thrill!! That is something which is missing in most of the Indian horror
movies. For me Ghoul is a go!! Don’t miss it!!!
