Papi Gudia

About This Movie

Papi Gudia, from 1996, dives into that classic horror territory where black magic meets the uncanny. Shakti Kapoor's portrayal of the sinister practitioner adds a layer of unsettling energy, especially as he ultimately becomes this malevolent doll. It’s intriguing how the film builds its atmosphere—there's a palpable tension, and the pacing keeps you guessing about what the doll will do next. Karishma Kapoor's brother unwittingly becomes the vessel for this dark spirit, and the performances blend well with the practical effects, which, while dated, hold a certain charm. The themes of possession and the struggle for control play out in ways that feel familiar yet distinctly off-kilter, making this film a curious watch for genre enthusiasts.
