After establishing the presence of the spirit in the mansion, the story hinges on incidents that get repetitive at times.īut the writer does infuse life and power in the narrative towards the second half. In fact, there's not much movement in the story in the first half. In fact, the story unfolds at such a lethargic pace that it really tests the patience of the viewer. The main flaw is that it moves at a very slow pace.
HAWA doesn't let you down in either of the departments.īut the film is not without its share of flaws. The cinematography, sound effects, special effects, background score and the overall direction has to be just perfect. When you attempt a film of this genre, you've got to have the technical aspect in order. For Hindi movie buffs, horror films are usually associated with skeletons and spirit, but in this case, the spirit rapes the protagonist repeatedly. Besides, the special effects bear an uncanny resemblance with POLTERGEIST and THE MUMMY RETURNS.īut it's the subject matter of HAWA that is its USP. While the basic storyline bears a striking resemblance with THE ENTITY, the setting is akin to THE OTHERS � a woman residing with her two kids in a mansion located in a secluded area. HAWA clearly takes its inspiration from four Hollywood flicks. The rest of the story traces her efforts to get her daughter back and solve the mystery. On another night, while returning from work, the spirit attacks her again and worse, it even takes away her youngest daughter. Things move from bad to worse when Sanjana is raped in front of her kids one night. Sanjana is sexually assaulted by 'something' that she can feel, but cannot see! Her childhood friend refers her to a psychiatrist, who considers Sanjana to be a case of a split personality. The subsequent night shatters Sanjana's life.
