Being a westerner, I was introduced to Indian films by way of “Ghost World” and that led me to “Gumnaam”, which led me to start exploring more of the films that India had to offer, in the “horror/suspense” genre. I’ve now seen quite a few but none have left me quite as perplexed as to how to take them as “Kafan”. Most films do have a sprinkling of humor & songs to go along with the “horror”, but this one seems almost as though it were intended as a “spoof”. And then again, maybe not. We have a gang of men who practice black magic & the need a “spinster lady” (I guess that’s a virgin) to sacrifice to their idol. The idol seems as though it was crafted from plaster of Paris and seems to be right out of the mind of some twisted 5-year old. Anyway the sacrifice is completed and the “spinster lady” is laid to rest in a shallow grave along with all the other “spinster ladies” that have gone before. Now, it seems as thought there’s a young lady named Neelam who is somewhat of a psychic, and she can see what these bad men are up to and where they’re doing it, and she becomes involved in finding them and stopping them from what they’re doing, with the help of her fiancée, a local policeman. And then, there’s the policeman’s sidekick, Bahdu, who provides comic relief by falling in love with a ghost who follows him everywhere wanting to marry him. This is not exactly a good film but it’s still entertaining, perhaps in ways that weren’t intended, but like I mentioned earlier, it’s sometimes hard to tell what exactly the spirit was in which some Indian films were made. Of course good triumphs over evil (it always does) and there’s a big showdown at the end. I noticed something quite odd…there are demonic voices coming from a telephone at one point and at some other part of the film that are lifted straight from “The Evil Dead”…it’s the voice of the laughing “little girl” demon that won’t shut up, even after Ash hits it with a wooden beam. Interesting. Anyway, I liked this film, can’t say I loved it but it’s kind of fun, but by no means a good example of Indian horror. 6 out of 10.
