Lajo just won't get pregnant - which is bad news because her husband
Pratap desperately needs a heir, and his mother even suggests that
he beds another woman just for breeding purposes. In her desperation, Lajo
listens to her (evil) maid Mahua, who suggests she goes to Black
Mountain to her Master (Ajay Agarwal) who has some superpowers so when
he beds her she will sure bear a child ... of course she doesn't mention
that the Master is also a vampire. There's only one string attached: If
the baby of that unholy union is to be a girl, it will belong to the
master ...
Sure enough, 9 months later a baby girl is born - with Pratap naturally
not knowing it isn't his - but when Mahua asks Lajo to bring the baby to
her Master, Lajo refuses ... and Mahua poisons her and takes off with the
kid to Black Mountain. When Pratap learns about this, he goes after Mahua
with a posse, and ultimately he kills the vampire.
And that's the end, right ?
Wrong, that's only the beginning.
18 years later: The daughter of Lajo and Pratap (well actually the Master) has grown up to be a beautiful young woman, Kaamya,
but she is a bit of a spoilt brat, since he wants to have Kumar, the
foreman of daddy's sawmill at any price, even though he's engaged to
Sapna, and eventually, Kaamya doesn't even shy away from using black magic
to get him - which even works for a while, but unfortunately she got all
her black magic tricks from nowhere else than Black Mountain, and
eventually she is abducted to the mountain to witness the resurrection of
her real father, the Master, and from then on all hell breaks loose, since
from here on, the Master and his minions continually threaten Pratap,
Kumar, Sapna, Sspna's brother Anand and his wife Banu and eventually they
even kill the last two.
Only eventually is the master (and with him his brood of evil)
destroyed by the combined power of the AUM-sympol, the crucifix and the
Qur'an (and I'm not kidding here) and a healthy dose of torch-wielding
villagers, and the romantic couple at the center of the film - Kumar and
Sapna - can live on happily ever after ...
Of course, this film - as most of the Ramsays' shockers - is not strong
on subtlety, rather it throws at the audience everything it's got, but
that's not to say it's not wholly entertaining, an exotic, trashy but at
times very atmospheric horror pic that might be steeped in clichés, but
to maximum effect. Good fun.
