Then there is the elevator scene. All I shall say is that it works well, had us on the edges of our seats, and is a super J-Horror-with-Bollywood-nuance encounter. After it, she is back in the hospital, and seeing more creepy black figures. A walk-through the morgue, as she follows eerie sounds and black figures, is done with her as the only moving figure in a frozen scene of doctors, nurses, and bodies in various stages of dissection. One frozen, scooped-out individual provides a bit of a surprise for her, and is done in typically graphic Bollywood fashion.

At this point in her travails, she begins to question God. You don't see that very much in your typical American horror film, unless some victim or madman is yelling an expletive. She questions why God is showing her these sights. Before we can find out more, though, Intermission appeared on screen and the film stopped. You certainly don't see that anymore in American horror films either.

I half-expected to see a dancing bag of Buttery Sally Popcorn and Mr. Straw jumping into a cup of Coke, singing "Let's all go to the concession stand, and have ourselves a snack," but Intermission remained resolutely on screen.

"Thank god," said Zombos. "I really need to take a p--."

"I'll get the sherry and Coke. "

"Capital idea!" he said, hurrying to the bathroom.

INTERMISSION

While we wait for intermission to end kiddies, let me direct your attention to this article on BMJ.com, which details the concerns that Indian eye specialists raised when the film appeared in the theatres. The article mentions the onerous task of getting cornea donors due to "strong religious beliefs of reincarnation and related superstitions." It goes on to quote Dr. Ajit Sinha:

At this juncture all those who will watch the movie will definitely have an impression that after corneal grafting surgery the patients will get supernatural experiences and hence it will create a setback to the movement of eye donation. The donor and recipients both will be scared to come forward," he added.

The article is an interesting look into the cultural impact of films in India. Okay. Zombos is back in his seat, and the sherry and Coke are on the table. Let us continue with Naina.
