Before the world saw Amar Kaushik's Stree, a film about a vengeful yet vulnerable spirit of a woman yearning for true love, it was Priyadarshan's Bhool Bhulaiyaa that blended horror and comedy into one narrative. The Malayalam filmmaker peeped into his own originals and rehashed them into Bollywood films. This time, his source of inspiration was Manichitrathazu, the Mohanlal-Shobana classic about a woman's unfinished business and the repercussions it has on a family that has just moved into a haunted mansion.
