Ghost (2019) — Hindi Horror

In the 2019 horror-thriller "Ghost," directed by Vikram Bhatt, Karan Khanna, a politician of Indian origin in the United Kingdom, is accused of murdering his wife, Barkha Khanna. He claims that a spirit committed the murder and should be tried. The film delves into themes of possession, the supernatural, and the blurred lines between reality and the paranormal. As Karan's defense lawyer, Simran Singh, portrayed by Sanaya Irani, investigates the case, she confronts her own personal struggles, including a dependency on morphine and the recent loss of her father. The narrative intertwines their personal challenges with the eerie events surrounding the case, creating a tense and suspenseful atmosphere. "Ghost" was released on October 18, 2019, and received a lukewarm reception from critics and audiences alike. The film's box office performance was underwhelming, grossing approximately 1.82 crore. Despite its shortcomings, "Ghost" offers a unique exploration of supernatural themes within the Indian horror genre, appealing to viewers interested in psychological horror and the complexities of the human psyche.
