Love horror? Drop what you're doing and watch Khooni Monday's 'The Legend of Betaal Mountain'

The genre of horror and mystery has always ruled the fancy of Indian audience. Be it Ramsay Brothers' classic 'Veerana' or Ruskin Bond's 'Ghost Stories of Shimla Hills', Indians have embraced all content that checks the right horror boxes in any possible form of storytelling. Though the same does not stand true in case of zombie thrillers, some progress has been made in that regard as well. Recently, streaming giant Netflix came up with 'Betaal', India's first zombie horror series produced by Shah Rukh Khan's Red Chillies Private Ltd. While the series was a treat for binge watchers, it also inspired a few others like popular YouTube channel Khooni Monday to come up with their own versions of the pioneering work of art.

Following the success of the series, the YouTube channel launched an animated story titled 'The Legend of Betaal Mountain', having a similar storyline but different treatment. The story revolves around a remote village, inhabited by a group of tribal people, where a highway is set to be constructed. The special squad sent for the purpose faces the first roadblock when the villagers warn against the idea of opening up a tunnel that is believed to be cursed. According to the villagers, opening the tunnel would lead to the unleashing of the evil of Betaal, a cruel British Army officer whose tales of torture and atrocities still make people shiver in fear.

This compels the squad to call a senior official named Sirohi, who later arrives in the village with the task to get the village vacated and the tunnel opened. What follows is a strange turn of events. While initially he encounters some unusual happenings, he is later informed about how the British officer has acquired a deity-like status and shouldn't be disturbed to let peace prevail in the region. Sirohi is repeatedly warned by villagers against opening the tunnel and even informed about the warning given by a 'tantrik' who had helped lock Betaal.

Did Sirohi pay heed to the warnings? Was the evil unleashed? Could villagers protect themselves from the horror of the officer and his army? The answers to these questions are in 'The Legend of Betaal Mountain', the latest video created by Khooni Monday. The video has also been shared by Netflix India on its YouTube channel.

Naseeruddin Shah: Om Puri's journey was incredible

Om Puri (1950-2017)

×At Om Puri's chautha ceremony on Monday, Naseeruddin Shah remembered his best friend and shared a few anecdotes from his early days. "Om Puri once invited me to his place in Delhi; it was a railway guard's house. He had cooked egg curry. I asked him to show me where he sleeps. He took me to a corridor facing the station and a stench greeted me. I saw a neat charpoy with a pair of chappals slipped under the bed. The stove on which he had made the anda curry for me was also there. There were a couple of books on exercising apart from Constantin Stanislavski's My Life In Art.

Naseeruddin Shah

I need not describe this, but wanted you to know Om's journey from the corridors of an old Delhi station to the successful actor we all fantasise about," he said.

Naseer also recalled how Om Puri would impersonate the late actor Amrish Puri over the phone. "In those days, there were only landlines. I would hear Amrish Puri's voice on the other end and be on my best behaviour. Many thought Om was Amrish Puri's son or brother and Govind Nihalini is solely responsible for it [creating that perception]. I envied Om's voice and he envied my English [speaking abilities]."

Vidhu Vinod Chopra

×The forthcoming release "Haraamkhor" was made via crowd funding, but what many don't know is that filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra gave a personal grant for its production.It was when Chopra read the film's script that he was convinced to contribute personally for the film.

Producer Guneet Monga of Sikhya Entertainment said in a statement: "We were at the NFDC (National Film Development Corporation) pitch lab where we had to pitch our film. And we won the pitch which was sponsored by Vidhu Vinod Chopra and we got the grant of the money from him, which worked towards the post-production of our film.

"The film was produced through a crowd fund on Facebook. Phantom Films wasn't involved. But when the film was wrapped up, we showed it to Anurag (Kashyap) since he's both Shlok (director Shlok Sharma) and my mentor. He saw the movie and loved it and came on board in the capacity of a producer. The film was produced under Rs 1 crore."

"Haraamkhor" is releasing on Friday, and features Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Shweta Tripathi in key roles of a teacher and student.

After almost 20 years, Shoojit Sircar's dream project, a biopic on Udham Singh, becomes reality

New Delhi: Gestating for nearly two decades, director Shoojit Sircar's dream project, a biopic on revolutionary Udham Singh, is finally set to become a reality.
Shoojit, who produced last year's most impactful film "Pink", says he wanted to make the movie on Udham Singh right after he shifted to Mumbai.
"I have been working on the story for 18-19 years now. When I shifted to Mumbai, this was the first film that I wanted to make but something else would always come up. It is set in pre-Independence era, so it was a little difficult to plan," Shoojit told PTI in an interview.
The director says his visit to Jallianwala Bagh in the '90s triggered the idea about Udham Singh, who assassinated Michael O'Dwyer, the former Lieutenant Governor of the Punjab in British India in 1940, to avenge the 1919 massacre.
"In the '90s we had a group in Delhi called Act One which had me, Piyush Mishra and Ashish Vidyarthi. We used to sing songs of national harmony."
"During this time, Punjab was coming out of turmoil. I visited the Golden Temple and Jallianwala Bagh at that time. When I went there and saw what actually happened there, that triggered me emotionally."
Shoojit, who has films like "Yahaan", "Vicky Dina", "Madras Cafe" and "Piku" to his credit, says Udham Singh is a forgotten hero.
"He was one of the prominent faces of the freedom movement but youngsters don't know much about this martyr. He is a forgotten hero. Through my film, I want the youngsters to know him."
Shoojit has already started work on the film but he is mum about casting.
The project on Udham Singh is not the only film that will keep the director busy in 2017 as he is collaborating with his "Piku" scriptwriter Juhi Chaturvedi for a love story.
"Juhi and I are working again after 'Vicky Donor' and 'Piku'. We share a very good rapport. It is a simple love story. There will be issues around it. We are currently working on it. We are producing with Ronnie Lahiri. I will direct both the films."
He is also one the producers of "Runningshaadi.com" and Shoojit says he is happy for the film, which has been directed by Amit Roy and stars Amit Sadh and Taapsee Pannu.
Talking about "Pink", which has been hailed as one of the strongest movies to come out of Bollywood on the issues that modern women face, Shoojit says they were careful in keeping the story's integrity intact.
"When you make a film like 'Pink', you are working on the edge. We were very careful about the integrity of the issue.
With 'Pink', we tried to address all the issues that women face. We decided to open up completely so that there is no debate left.
"Similarly, 'Vicky Donor' could have easily been slapstick but I knew that the topic we were dealing with was serious. So, we walked a thin line."

Here is the list of JIO Filmfare Short Films Awards 2017

The immensely well-received JIO Filmfare Short Films Awards 2017, announced the winners through a Facebook live session. After shortlisting 44 films from over a thousand entries, the best ones will finally get to take the coveted black lady home on the night of the prestigious 62nd JIO Filmfare Awards.

The first of its kind short film awards property was entirely organised on the digital platform and was supported by many from the film fraternity. The best names in the industry, including Karan Johar, Gauri Shinde, Anand Rai, Meghna Gulzar, Vidya Balan, Zoya Akhtar and Kabir Khan were on board as prestigious members of the jury.

Editor of Filmfare, Jitesh Pillai and jury member Kabir Khan unveiled the winners through a Facebook Live announcement yesterday, a first ever for any awards property. The winners who bagged the first JIO Filmfare Short Films Awards 2017 are Jyoti Kapur Das for a gripping short film, 'Chutney' which won two awards under the category of Best Film (Fiction) and Best Actress (Tisca Chopra) respectively. Manoj Bajpai won the 'Best Actor' for his character as a constable in 'Taandav'. Prantik Vivek Deshmukh's Marathi short film 'Matitali Kusti' rightfully won the award for Best Film (Non-Fiction). The People's Choice Award for Best Film, based on public voting through social media, was awarded to 'Khamakha' directed by Aarti S Ba, starring Harshvardhan Rane and Manjari Fadnis.

On announcing the winners, director and jury member Kabir Khan said, "Short films is a director's medium. Given the duration, it is very rare for an actor to display all your skills and craft on screen for such a small duration. That is why it's a great platform for upcoming directors. Through short films, we are able to address many more issues which because of certain restrictions are not possible on the big screen. They don't have a box office to worry about and that's something I would like to encourage.`

`Filmfare was the first and the only award we ever knew of, growing up. To be able to walk the classic Filmfare 'Red Carpet' is a dream this hard-core brought-up-on-Hindi-films kid had. It's overwhelming that my dream is coming true! Chutney is a film made without any agendas. I didn't expect it to go so viral or to win awards; I just wanted to tell a story engagingly. It's awesome of the jury and of Filmfare to have rewarded that! When the tweets about the awards came out, I couldn't stop jumping and I know I will still be jumping when I go up to receive that very special Black Lady on January 14th!` said Jyoti Kapur Das on winning Best Film (Fiction) for Chutney.



"It's actually an honour for immensely gifted director Devashish Makhija and muvizz.com. I am so happy that Filmfare thought of recognising the value of short films as a creative platform to showcase one's potential." said Manoj Bajpayee on winning 'Best Actor' for Taandav.

`Filmfare is big, huge, in fact. It's synonymous with the history of Indian cinema. There are many fabulous performances over the years have been highlighted and given longer life by this most prestigious of awards. But what makes this extra special is that I am winning my first Filmfare for 'Chutney' which produced and co-wrote. And winning for a character that is the opposite of 'heroine material' is what shows me that Filmfare is really looking at the art of acting in a bold and modern way. Introducing the category of short films this year is also a crisp new move. It's heartening to see that films that have no godfather or a big studio supporting them are also picked by a firm and fair jury. Thank you for the award Filmfare. This one is for the keeps!` said Tisca Chopra on winning 'Best Actress' for Chutney.

`Winning a Filmfare Award at 24 is a dream come true for an aspiring filmmaker like me. This is beyond my imagination. I hope this film will not only help in reviving traditional mud wrestling but also in reducing the struggles and the pains of the modern day traditional 'Pehelwans' (Wrestlers). It will also help in sustaining the values and culture of our country. I would like to thank Filmfare for honouring me on such a huge platform. I want to graduate to making feature length films some day and the short film format definitely acts as a bridge towards that.` said Prantik Vivek Deshmukh on winning Best Film (Non-Fiction) for Matitali Kusti.

`Khamakha as an idea came to me because of my husband Arun, when he mentioned how you end up judging people during your travels by the way they talk, or their language or their clothes. Everything that is so external. I decided to stress on a Pride and Prejudice on Languages. Short films are the simplest way to discover your own voice. With the revered and extremely loved Filmfare coming out and recognising shorts in such a grand way, it's going to open up a talent flood that will feel extremely liberating!` said, Aarti S. Bagdi on winning People's Choice Award for Best Film - Khamakha.

Nawazuddin a remarkable actor: Shweta Tripathi

Actress Shweta Tripathi, who will be sharing screen space with Nawazuddin Siddiqui in their forthcoming film "Haraamkhor" said her co-star is a remarkable actor.

"At first, I was worried sharing screen with an actor like Nawazuddin Siddiqui because he is a remarkable actor and an outstanding person. He didn't make me feel that I am a newcomer," Shweta said in an interview on Saturday.

"Nawazuddin brings down himself to match the level. I felt like I am working with an actor who has same experience like me," she said

"That's why I respect him so much. I don't know anybody who does that. He gives space to another co-star," She added.

"Working with him brings the best of you. I really admire him. I think he knows how he helped me in acting," the actress said.



"Once he said some actors need to be choosy. That line stuck in my mind. I am now super choosy with the films. He also said 'talent can't be suppressed.' I truly believe in these things," the "Masaan" actress told the reporters.

Shot in a small village in Gujarat, the film explores the romance between a 14-year-old school student and her teacher.

Decorated with visuals set in a small village are the main characters of the film, the teacher, the student, a boy who has a crush on the same girl and his friend who helps him and the teacher's wife.

The trailer is funny in parts -- even as the film sets out to spread a serious message.

Directed by Shlok Sharma, the film is releasing on January 13.
