Moving away from regular horror, Bollywood is lately warming up to the idea of serving scares with a spot of humour. The horror comedy as a genre is suddenly in vogue among mainstream Hindi filmmakers.
The genre existed in the Hindi film industry for ages -- the old classic "Bhoot Bangla" and recent releases such as "Bhul Bhulaiyaa", "Bhootnath", "Go Goa Gone" and "Stree" come to mind. These films, however, were one-off cases. What is happening now is that Bollywood filmmakers have suddenly taken interest in the genre of horror comedy in a way that it seems like the genre is here to stay. Importantly, the new crop of films serve the funny scares with a new-age spin and a message.
We look at a few horror comedy films that are all set to hit the screens.
Bhoot Police
The film stars Saif Ali Khan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Yami Gautam and Arjun Kapoor.

Producer Ekta Kapoor has entertained the audience with three seasons of "Naagin", but she admits that the second installment of the supernatural show was a "bit of a mess up".
When the first season of the show with actresses Mouni Roy and Adaa Khan fronting the cast of "Naagin" premiered in the last quarter of 2015, it managed to slither its way up to the top spot.
After a successful run, it returned with two more seasons. While its third season will soon go off air, Ekta is ready with two more shows -- second season of "Kawach" and "Bepanah Pyaarr".
"'Kawach' is the second season of a show with a very popular first season. This is probably the most exciting season of any of the shows that I have done. I think I usually mess up in the second season," Ekta told the media here on Wednesday.

Among her upcoming projects is writer/director Pawan Kirpalani's new thriller, Phobia, in which the fearless actress plays an agorophobic woman who is besieged in her apartment. Kirpalani is best known for directing one of India's first found footage horror films, 2011's Ragini Mms.

It's been three years since Sunny Leone made her Bollywood debut with Jism 2 (yes, time flies) and went on to be a part of films like Ragini Mms, Ek Paheli Leela and others.
Ask the actress how she would rate herself and she says, "You have a baby and a toddler and then you have a kid. I see myself as somebody who's trying to walk. I'm here. I work really hard. I try and listen. I genuinely want to do good job. I've always wanted to be an actress. I want this to be my career. I want to act. So for me it's very important that with each movie, I get better. Or at least the audience feels that I have improved. I can't be the judge of myself. Let the audience decide that. I can't rate myself. I am still very young."

After a decent weekend at the box office, Ek Paheli Leela stated reasonably consistent during the weekdays, albeit on the lower side. As a result, the first week collections of the Sunny Leone starrer stand at 24 crore. Though one didn’t expect footfalls to be too high, they could have been better considering the kind of fan following that Sunny Leone enjoys. Also, her last major release Ragini Mms-2 had been a clean hit at the box office and hence something close to the eventual collections (50 crore) seemed to be on cards. As things stand today though, the Bobby Khan directed film would wrap up around the 30 crore mark.
Another release of the week, Dharam Sankat Mein, didn’t score much. The reviews were decent to above average and the word of mouth was far from being the kind that would have brought the film into the ‘must watch’ category.

In Bollywood screenplays are narrated, not read and I was in one such story pitching session at a studio when I spied on a list of names on the white board. The names were unknown but the surnames had a ring to them. Upon enquiring, I found out that they were children of famous actors who were in their teens and would be ready to be launched in a couple of years. The studio was maintaining a database of these young starlets and was hoping to be first in the race to sign them as soon as they got rid of their baby fat. That’s the day I made up my mind to never depend on this feudal system for my break.

The huge hype and buzz created by the makers around the film’s release resulted in a thunderous opening at multiplexes and single screens alike, and in every Centre, without exception.
Despite the India Vs. Pakistan match, early trends seem to suggest that the film will not take a significant dip in the evening and night shows. Given the film’s moderate budget, the Horrex (horror and sex) sequel is expected to yield profits for the producers.
Remarked distributor Tarun Tandon of Indra Films (Nizam), “Ragini Mms-2 has opened very well and the word of mouth is superb. Despite the cricket match, the film will take an impressive number on Friday.”
Distributor Sanjay Chattar of Marudhar Entertainment said, “Ragini Mms-2 has taken a bumper opening in Cp, Berar & Central India. It chills and thrills the audience. The shows are nearly full and the word of mouth is extremely positive.

Rajat Kapoor’s Ankhon Dekhi, a film about a middle class patriarch searching for meaning in life is intended as a tribute to Mani Kaul and Kumar Shahani, key proponents of the Indian new wave cinema of the 70s and 80s. But while Mani Kaul made films which were experimental and even considered inaccessible by some, Rajat Kapoor’s latest effort is an offbeat drama that manages to be both entertaining and thought provoking. Set in contemporary old Delhi, Ankhon Dekhi ponders over issues as disparate as the breakdown of the traditional family, the difference between perception and reality and the need to find one’s place in the larger scheme of things. While the different threads don’t necessary add up to a coherent whole, the film offers both humour and poignancy and builds up to a bewildering conclusion.

Ekta Kapoor is back to giving the audience what they want and delivering it in style. The writer-producer powerhouse’s latest offering is directed by 1920 – Evil Returns’ director Bhushan Patel. No doubt the leading lady of the film needs no introduction, the one and only Sunny Leone. However, apart from Sunny the film boasts of an intriguing cast ensemble consisting of Divya Dutta, Parvin Dabas, Sandhya Mridul, newcomer Saahil Prem and Karan Mehra. Sequel to the 2011 surprise blockbuster starring Kainaz Motivala and Rajkumar Rao, Ragini Mms 2 follows the storyline of the first instalment.

The war between Kapil and Sunny Leone seems to be a thing of the past. There was major talk in December that Kapil had refused to have Sunny on his popular weekend show, which did not go down well with Sunny. But equations have changed now. Comedy Nights With Kapil has pulled off a major coup by getting Sunny Leone and Ekta Kapoor together on the same platform. The show is known to invite youth icons as guests too, which explains the appearances made by popular cricketers in recent times. The producers were keen to have an otherwise camera-shy Ekta Kapoor on the show and she consented as it was to promote the keenly awaited Ragini Mms-2, featuring Sunny Leone. Ekta and Sunny are expected to shoot for Kapil this evening in Mumbai.

Rickshaw wallahs in Mumbai were excited as Sunny Leone was in Andheri flagging off the rickshaws that will carry special Ragini Mms-2 branding. ‘Ragini ka naya Mms dekha kya?’, ‘Ragini yahaan baithi thi’, ‘Do mein zyaada mazaa hai’ are among the messages that have been plastered across 7000 rickshaws in Mumbai and Delhi. Needless to mention, these will ply across the cities, further accentuating the film’s visibility.
“We had done this during Ragini Mms back in 2011 and the feedback had been overwhelming. Scores of others aped us subsequently. Sunny enjoys unprecedented popularity among the masses and the Ragini franchise reaches out to the lowest common denominator,” says Tanuj Garg, CEO – Balaji Motion Pictures.

Ragini Mms – 2, the forthcoming horror-erotica film, contains a horror-packed scene shot inside a lake. In fact, there is even a fleeting shot of the said scene in the film’s trailer.
It appears at the point when Sunny’s co-star follows her to a lake hoping to make love to her.
The lake was in Vasai on the outskirts of Mumbai, in a scary and quiet location. The said scene had to be shot at midnight when the water was cold, so as to get the desired effect. Sunny had to dip into the water to give her best shot but was petrified because the lake was quite a walk from her vanity van. There was also talk of water snakes.
The scene took an entire night to shoot and Sunny fell ill the following day and developed a minor skin allergy.
