Because the story is completely based on different social environments and religious beliefs, the world view in the movie is quite unexpected to me. Before watching it, my recommendation to my friends is: I have an Indian thriller movie. do not look? Aren't you all curious what Indian thrillers look like?
I'm curious anyway, which is why I've always wanted to watch it. Although it only gave three stars, I think anyone who is more interested in Indian religion and Indian horror movies can watch it.
Old rules, let me talk about what I think is better, first of all, this mythical story, the goddess of prosperity and her doting first son Hastur, this story sounds novel to me, it makes sense, Hastur Being trapped in the womb of the goddess and starving is also cruel from a human point of view; and then there is the whole story line, the movie doesn't tell everything clearly at the beginning, and it doesn't even deal with it very clearly in some places, but he I think I appreciate the method of how to make money from Hastur in the later stage, and it leaves suspense; in terms of dealing with people and things, I like it without taking too much time, because the whole movie It is equivalent to telling the whole history of this family from prosperity to decline and then to prosperity and decline, showing the greed and desire of human nature vividly, and at the same time showing a small space of the national conditions and social status of India at that time, to be honest Some sympathize with the male protagonist's original wife, the son and the husband were carved out of the same mold.
Then there is the part that I don't understand very well:
The first is the male protagonist's younger brother, who fell from the tree and broke his head for a blink of an eye. Does this imply that he was actually cursed to death?
Also, after her brother died while her mother was taking her brother to see the doctor, the driver asked her where she was going, she asked to go back to the compound, and when she came back, her face was bruised and there was still a long wound on her face. Why? And always insisted on asking his son to say that he would not return to Tabad. Why? Does she know anything?
Hastur can't touch flour but can touch dolls. Why? Is it because the noodle doll becomes pure food after being processed by humans, and he can eat it?
If Hastur will be cursed when he touches it, isn't Hastur's cause when the male protagonist came back and injured his leg?
With a lot of doubts, there are many points that seem to be metaphors, but I don't feel that they are too clear. But I don't plan to watch it again. Friends who have read my film review can tell me your understanding freely.
I feel that the special effects in India are really good. I hope there will be more such movies that are more inclined to the ancient civilization of India in the future, and I will follow them.
