"Purani Kabar" | Full Horror Movie | Rajeev Raj | Mohini | Kirti Shetty | 1998
Synopsis:Purani Kabar is a late nineties movie, and has a distinctly different story than the others that we have synopsized here. The story has streaks of revenge, bad ghost, good ghost, deceit, and other clichÈ and non-clichÈ concepts that we find in Bollywood Horror movies. In fact, there are so many arcs that you kind of forget whoís doing what in the movie at the end of it all.
Four friends ñ we are talking communal harmony here, one is a Gujarati, another one is a Maharasthrian, the third is a Christian and the fourth is a Punjabi ñ buy tickets. The ticket seller sells the last ticket to their fifth friend. Though he says that he does not gamble, she persuades him to buy the ticket. Finally, come ticket day, the friend who never wanted to buy the ticket wins the money. The four friends now come up with the convoluted logic that they should have an equal share in the prize money. When their friend refuses to part with the money, they kill him, steal the ticket money, and become millionaires (adjusted for inflation) overnight. When the dead manís wife confronts them, they threaten her too and drive her away. However, a stranger starts blackmailing the quartet, and even succeeds in stealing away their car once.
Many years later, the dead manís son grows up to be a police officer. The quartet come back to the same area, and buys a piece of land for a hotel. On the day the hotel debuts, the driver who drove the car on the fateful day is killed by a grotesque monster, via stabbing and strangling. The item girl who was invited to the hotel launch calls up the police officer, and tells him of the murder. We are also introduced to the hotel receptionist, who has a fling with one of the four friends.
Meanwhile, the quartet once more get a call from the blackmailer, but this time they kill him off and bury him somewhere in the area. The police officer now comes to the hotel once again to meet the four, and he introduces the four to his assistant, who looks quite similar to the blackmailer who was killed. Turns out that the police inspectorís assistant is the lookalike brother of the original blackmailer, and he has vowed to carry out the blackmailing again.The assistant is too killed off one day, but the four are surprised to find another man who looks quite similar to the blackmailer. We then find out that there are three people having the same looks, and are blood brothers.
On another note, a film crew comes to the hotel for a shooting, and love blooms between the hero and the heroine ñ all this while the second friend from the group is killed off by the strange ghost. Now, with only two more friends left, they go to a tantric, who gives them a magic amulet ñ but only after he has his way with the girlfriend of one of the partners. As they are returning from the tantric, they see the ghost, but buoyed by the fact that they have an amulet to save them, they run over him. And while we go ahead in the movie, the heroine is killed off by the ghost, beca
