Swara Bhaskar features in Horror film Machhli Jal Ki Rani Hai

After doing some brilliant performances in films like Raanjhana, Tanu Weds Manu and Guzaarish, Swara Bhaskar is playing the lead actress in a horror film. The film is released on 13th June.

The trailer of the film released one month ago and after watching it we can say that the film embraces the premise of a typical Bollywood Horror sporting a possessed woman and a sorcerer (Tantrik) with some witchy faces and special effects. Surprisingly the film has evidently got a quite a low production value especially in terms of art direction, where the sets and rooms are looking very tacky, resembling the feel of low budget films.

The story of the film is about a married couple who have shifted to Jabalpur after a disturbing road accident. While the husband is busy at work the wife begins to feel a supernatural presence and starts behaving very strangely. The rest of the movie is pretty much the same as what is commonly seen in run of the mill Bollywood horrors.

Debaloy Dey directs the film. Bhanu Uday plays the main lead actor with Murli Sharma and Reema Debnath in supporting roles.

According to news of Indian Express a sequel of the film is in the pipeline even before the film was due for release. Talking about this, director Dey said that it was not at all a conscious decision to end the film in such a way that would lead to a sequel, it just happened and the sequel was inevitable.
