Shodh is quite an interesting piece from 1981, primarily a horror film that delves into the themes of grief and desperation. Om Puri as Surendra brings a certain depth to the narrative—his performance embodies the torment of returning to a place filled with ghosts, both literal and metaphorical. The film's pacing has this eerie, slow-burn quality that builds tension effectively. There’s a rawness to the practical effects that adds to its charm, especially in an era when many horror films relied heavily on gimmicks. The atmosphere is thick with despair and dread, which makes it distinctive. You can feel the hunger of the characters, not just for survival but for meaning, amidst the spectral backdrop. It’s a layered narrative that deserves more attention.
