A little bit of magic is what you expect anyway when Ekta Kapoor and Vishal Bhardwaj co-produce a film.Ek Thi Daayan throws in a lot of it, though there seems room left for a little more. Impressively though, this is the most unusual Bollywood horror film you might have seen.
Kannan Iyer's debut directorial feature is special also for another reason. Daayans and their inteqaam ditties have mostly been staple yarn for C-grade Bollywood. Ek Thi Daayan is a bid to tweak the genre for the discerning crowd, with a psychological subtext.
Before anything, donât be swayed by claims that the film is regressive and presents women in a bad light - as certain sections seem to have done without even watching it. Iyer has made an out and out thriller that cocktails romance with horror and in no way demeans the better half of society or promotes superstition
