Usually movies that deal with paranormal topics in india are pretty much horror movies. And these movies are mostly inspired from some foreign flicks and indianized with local superstitions and remedies. Yeah and i forgot those horrible horrible makeups. I thought probably "Manichithra thazhu" was the first sane movie that broke away from this line and gave a clean thriller with a scientific approach. And probably the first movie that treated the subject without any of those usual stupid horror movie components. But i was wrong, Gehrayee which came in 1980 is another movie that deals the subject very well. It does not take the scientific line of "Manichithra thazhu" ,but it deals the story in a very sane way without much of the commercial cinema fuss. For a movie that was made in 1980, it is totally a different one. Even thought the movie kind of becomes a spirit , ghost oriented one in the end. It does not use it as a means to frighten the audience, but to move the story forward. It is more like the ghost that comes in Shakesphere's Hamlet, rather than the one in the usual horror movies.
