Lately
Bollywood seems to be in quite a horror-film frenzy,
following the enormous success of Vikram Bhatts
Raaz and Ram Gopal Varmas latest, Bhoot. The
next film lined up to frighten audiences is Guddu
Dhanoa's newest horror thriller, Hawa. This film surprisingly
was completed in less than 40 days. In addition, Hawa
stars Tabu in the lead role, promising to illustrate
her immense talent once again in her first-ever role
for a horror film.
The
storyline of Hawa is itself unique and is sure to
stir up the industry. The story depicts a divorced
businesswoman (Tabu) who sells antiques in a small
shop, living with her two children. The bulk of the
storyline illustrates the transition of her life into
something quite unusual, as a result to a sequence
of bizarre circumstances.
The film turns into a battle for survival after the
family gets stranded in a deserted haunted house during
a vacation as a ruthless evil force attempts to abuse
Tabu.
Expectedly, Hawa is a songless film like most recent
horror flicks. However, Dilip Sen and Samer Sen have
recorded a song ('Main Hawa Hawa') in the voices of
Sunidhi Chauhan and Shehzad. About this title song,
director Guddu clarifies that, "the song will
be used only for promotion purposes".
For
the talented Tabu, this is her first film after being
off-screen for quite a few months. Widely known for
her realistic and practical roles, Tabu took a blind
step into wilderness when signing for this film. About
the near release of her first ever horror flick, she
is excited and simultaneously nervous. "It`s
the scariest movie you`ve ever seen," she declares.
Hopefully, this film will allow Tabu to bag her third
National Award for her mind-boggling performance that
is sure to astound audiences.
