If anyone has truly told the Bollywood audience what horror films are, it is director Vikram Bhatt. Born on January 27 in Mumbai, Vikram Bhatt’s first film was not horror, but after this, when he started making horror films, people used to scream in theatres.
Today let’s know about Vikram Bhatt. Will know which films he has made. And what is there in the horror films made by him that makes them different from the horror films made before his arrival in Bollywood.
What changed when Vikram Bhatt came?
Vikram Bhatt’s first film was ‘Jaanam’ in 1993. After this he also made films like ‘Fareb’ and ‘Ghulam’. But he got name and recognition from his horror films. In the year 2002, Vikram Bhatt made ‘Raaz’ with two new faces Bipasha Basu and Dino Morea. The songs of this film were amazing and remained on people’s lips for many years to come. But the most special thing was the way fear was presented in this film. This time he did something new. Ghosts with big nails and disfigured faces were not kept in the film to scare people. In fact, the entire film was made in such a way that every part of it was scary. The characters of the film Ashutosh Rana and Bipasha Basu were as scary as the ghost of the film.
However, such films started being made in Hollywood years ago. But this was new for Bollywood. Where one is being scared only by music, events and story of the film. The film came and became one of the biggest hits of that year.
What was the condition of horror films before Vikram’s arrival?
Before the arrival of Vikram, there were some creators in Bollywood like Ramsay Brothers, who used to serve horror films to the audience. However, at that time there were restrictions on not using technology too much. For this reason, Ramsay Brothers used to create horror by using fake teeth, nails and faces of ghosts painted with red color to scare. Despite being low budget, these films made good collections. But after the year 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.
Which films has Vikram made?
Vikram made Raj series films. Apart from this, apart from horror films like 1920, Haunted and Shapit, he has also tried his hand in thriller films. Like Hate Story series, Mr. According to the information available in IMDB, an interesting thing related to Vikram Bhatt is that his surname is Bhatt, but he is not related to Mahesh Bhatt. Yes, it is a different thing that he has definitely directed many films made under the production of Mahesh Bhatt. Vikram is going to bring ‘Bloody Ishq’ for the audience in the coming days. The shooting of the film has started.
So if you are from the Genji generation and you have not seen Raj, then you must watch this film once. If you like horror then this film will make you a fan of Vikram Bhatt.
