Be warned, Phoonk is a scary film

Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma may be known and admired more for his films based on the dreaded underworld, like SATYA, COMPANY and CONTRACT, but there is no denying the fact that there are a sizeable number of his fans who swear by his kind of horror flicks. Be it RAAT, BHOOT, DARNA MANA HAI etc, all left an undeliable impression and were the subjects of many a Bollywood discussion.

The iconoclastic director is back with the same genre that he handles with panache and the subject that he has chosen is black magic, an age old superstition which is widely prevalent in our society. Be it the fastening of lemon and green chilly or hanging the painting of a demon to ward off evil in front of houses and buildings, we are a witness to these practices, even amongst literate people.

The self confessed atheist, Varma discloses in his director's note, his experience of the dark forces saying "Every once in a while I have experienced certain things or heard a first-hand account of some other people's experiences which in the least can be said to be hair-raising and inexplicable."

Concept:

Every once in a while, we other hear or experience things which cannot have a rational examination. The truth of the matter is that we have very little knowledge and understanding of the life and its various mysteries.

The story of Phoonk demands answer from you to the question that no matter how much of a non-believer you are, can you truly stand by your conviction especially when you or your loved ones are seemingly being threshed by demonic force whose very existence your rational mind refuses to accept?

Story:

Rajeev, a successful Construction Engineer with a loving wife, and two children aged 10 and 8, is an atheist to the core. He scowls at God and even more at people who believe in the dark forces till one day when an evil was let loose in his happy home threatening to destroy his family and shake up the very foundations of his convictions and belief system.
