Nah. Now its just a long cheesefest, to be enjoyed on a dull weekend.

Back then Purana Mandir was big sensational news in Bollywood (people had grown tired of the action/pulpy romance stuff from the 70s, and someone had dared to think different etc., you know the routine). People actually fainted or ran out of cinema halls when Purana Mandir (The Old Temple) was released, and it was considered to have a strong heart to sit through that movie.

It was a superhit, and the wave of horror which followed from the Ramsay house of horror (who copied shamelessly from Hammer and US horror with their cheesy, darkly Gothic and over-the-top storylines) actually ruled the box office for a few years in the 80s. But then other filmmakers with their too cheap, extremely limited budget stuff, filled with nudity, sex and voluptuous actresses started filling their filth into the film market, and Bollywood Horror went on the decline. Later releases of Ramsay Bros' films started tanking, so they stopped making any more. By the time the 90s came in, horror was out of fashion. Teenage romance/teenage rebellion had taken centrestage again.

And nope, that chick is wearing a swimsuit under that transparent orange robe.
