Everybody knows that the one thing every young girl fears is discovering, once she has given her heart to someone, that she was a serpent in her past life and that her snake husband wants her back. That’s however not all that Monisha has to contend with. Monisha Koirala (a college student) and Sunny Deol (an alumni of the same college) are in love, hanging out in an august group of vidyarthis (Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, Sonu Nigam, Aftab Shivdasani, Arshad Warsi, Aditya Pancholi, Sharad Kapoor and assorted out-of-work Bollywood actors) -a group which harbors two rotten apples (Rajat Bedi and Siddharth) whose every waking hour is spent in designing and implementing plans to molest Monisha Koirala. And the reason for that is because Jaani Dushman is one of those rare genre-busting movies where fear operates at many levels-some levels being so subtle that you realize the true horror of what you have just witnessed, many hours or even days after the end credits have rolled, as you wake up in the dead of night, cold sweat running down your brow and the front of your pyjamas wet, with Sonu Nigam’s (as one of the hero’s) effeminate, uber-girlie “bhaiyya bhaiyya” ringing in your ears in a petrifying cadence.įirst the story.
Film critics from Peshawar to Pondicherry acknowledge Raj Kumar Kohli’s “Jaani Dushman–Ek Anonkhi Kahani (2002)” (released 5 years ago on August 15) to be one of the greatest horror/ science-fiction movies ever to be made in the history of celluloid.
