It's spooky season (the lead-up to Hallowe'en), so this week's video fits the theme! It's Taras from the recent Bollywood film Munjya (released in June).
It's a horror comedy about a young man called Bittal (played by Abhay Verma) who goes to his native village. While there he uncovers a family secret and also comes across the Munyja, a vengeful spirit who wants to get married! The spirit's plan involves Bittal's childhood friend Bela (Sharvari), who he is secretly in love with. Bittal must do what he can to stop the Munjya.
The film is inspired by Indian folkore and the legend of the Munjya. It's part of the Maddock Supernatural Universe series of movies, which also consists of Stree (2018), Bhediya (2022) and most recently Stree 2 (the Stree sequel which was released in August). Out of those films I've seen Stree so far, which I quite liked.
The Taras video features Sharvari. The playback singers are American singer Jasmine Sandlas and Sachin-Jigar. (Indian composer duo Sachin-Jigar also did the music for Nadiyon Paar from the 2021 comedy horror Roohi).

Hallowe'en is next Thursday (31st October) and I plan to do my annual "spooky" themed post this weekend! :)
