Thanks for the memories!
This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
As mentioned by others, Hawa borrows heavily from the Barbara Hershey film The Entity and to a lesser degree from Poltergeist. This kind of homage is typical of Bollywood horror films, but outside of that Hawa is anything BUT typical of Indian horror movies. As an American viewer I -- like most of my countrymen -- have been desensitized enough by Hollywood slasher films that an old-fashioned spook story doesn't usually get much of a rise out of me. What is horrifying in India is usually prime time TV fodder here on this side of the world. And while Hawa isn't going to make me check under the bed at night, it did have enough suspense to raise a few hairs on my neck. Surprising when considering its obvious similarities to two films I've seen several times before. A few more films like this one and Bollywood will begin to be viewed as a credible producer of films in the horror genre by those accustomed to the more graphic Western versions. Normally I would recommend that if you want to watch Indian movies, stick with what Bollywood does best -- romantic comedy, drama, musicals and the like. But in this case I'm willing to make an exception. Hawa is definitely worth a watch, and if you're easily spooked it might even scare you. If you're not, it may still creep you out a little.
I like this movie specially gentle sex scene by ghost with taboo. I think this is the best scene sex in Indian movie history. this is copy of English movie but still good to watch ...........................................................go for itGuddu Dhanoa's "Hawa" clearly takes an inspiration from "The Enity"(1981)and "Poltergeist"(1982).The cinematography is excellent and the film is well-directed and acted.Tabu who has just taken a divorce returns to her bungalow in Manali.With her are her two daughters,a dog and her brother(Imran Khan).Soon Tabu,her dog and brother begin to see an invisible spirit.The dog disappears and he returns only dead.The spirit falls for Tabu and rapes her.She meets a doctor(Shabhaz Khan)who doesn't believe that she is molested by an invisible spirit.Tabu is raped repeatedly.She desperately tries to find the truth about her invisible assailant."Hawa" is a good piece of Hindi horror.The rape scenes are not graphic,but they are actually a bit disturbing.The film is creepy,so fans of Hindi horror won't be disappointed.Highly recommended.8 out of 10.
A total copy of "The Entity" made in 1981 however the director goofed up big time. Compromising on the CGI makes the movie sloppy and cheesy.A few scenes are so cheap and make you wonder if you are watching a B-grade movie. In fact the whole movie transports you back 15-years to the era of Ramsay's brothers.In "The Entity" the protagonist has vast scope to display her histrionics which could have been the only apparent reason for Tabu to nod for the role.Tabu's early years of troubled childhood leave a bad taste in mouth and the redemption of Avtar Gill makes you wonder if the storyboard got lost during movie-making.Guddu Dhanoa - please stick to action flicks and Deol's.Avoid at all costs.
