Vash

The horror genre in India is mostly horror comedy or an emotional sob-story that the ghost was somehow wronged in the past and is waiting to exact revenge. Almost all 'horror' movies have to have a 'hero' who saves the day, and it's OK if the plot takes a backseat. No issues with this, but it's been overdone and badly so. Only a handful of movies have had something original and, very rarely, do you get a film in which 'Evil is just evil. No reason needed.' Very rarely.

A story that you may not have seen in other movies before, with the plot taking center stage. I didn't know anything about the actors, so to me, it felt like they were regular-day people, and I wonder if that helped the plot hit better because a regular-day guy in the plot is the 'evil' and you really feel what the family feels - "Him!? Why us? Why's he randomly doing this? He was just a regular guy."

Awesome unique plot, followed by some phenomenal acting by Janki Bodiwala as the girl possessed and by the Evil (not as menacing but did what was required) and the supporting cast. The family characters are written well enough that you care for them and flinch every time they're hurt in the film. Acting overall by everybody - great job!

The production value nothing mind-blowing, but good. Sound design, nothing mind-blowing, but good. In fact, you'd expect horror films to dial up the sound to build the intensity and I don't remember that in Vash. The silence added to the creeps The screenplay wins in this film - the story, the characters, the ending, everything written just enough to drive the plot. No nonsense.

Vash (2023)

This is a Gujarati regional film. I couldn't find it in Hindi, so I watched it in Gujarati itself (15th Sept 2025) - and I'm glad I did, because I actually understood almost everything. The only reason I even came across this movie was because its sequel, Level 2, is making a lot of noise right now - it's been performing really well at the box office and has plenty of hype around it.

Now, let's talk about the story (without spoilers): Atharva and his family (his wife, daughter, and son) are on their way to their farmhouse when they encounter a strange man. That same man ends up following them all the way to the farmhouse... and that's exactly where the real tension and thrill begins.

There's no "ghost" or supernatural creature here, but still, some of the scenes can really haunt you and stay in your head. The cast is minimal - just five main characters are introduced. The ending twist was particularly wild and dangerous to watch unfold.

Now, it's not all perfect. I did notice a few loopholes. For example, multiple times I felt like the villain could have easily been dealt with (killed right there at the farmhouse itself)... but fine, I'll let that pass. Because overall, the acting was solid, the dialogues hit well, and the BGM added perfectly to the tension.

So if you want to watch something a little different - a thriller that keeps you on edge - then I'd definitely say give this one a shot.

⭐ My rating: 8/10.

Recently Guj Cinema has given various thought provoking films and some socially bold attempts also. Mr. K Y enters Suspense, Thrill, Abanded kidnap kind, drug induced hypnotism on wrong path and GORE zone. He did splendid things just after interval some lengthy slow screen play takes time in re gripping but still he has some thing more in store so rightly bounces back. Modern Gujarati family with their choices rightly ecohes the culture. We have Hiten Kumar a new Villan terrific role, wel done. With Hitu K as father. Do not get confused by name similarity. They performed very well to get tied honors. Janki Bodiwala though bare - minimum dialogues but very high level acting wise in all facets of the wonderful main character. Mother o k. It's a Gujarati Movie most likely to be dubbed in many languages including English! Just get going for this film before routine after talks may dilute the suspense thrill.

VASH (2023) is a good Gujarati horror movie. It made me uneasy after a long time. It is a hard watch, especially for people with a weak heart. I won't give any spoilers. There are no ghosts in this film, its fear comes from mind control and psychological tension.

I have seen many dark films, so it wasn't shocking in every way, but it still made me feel uneasy. Some scenes with children are really shocking, so I don't recommend watching it with family.

The main actress, Janki Bodiwala, who plays the daughter, acted very well. She made her character feel real and added to the scary feeling of the movie.

Overall, it is a good horror film. If you like horror and can handle tense scenes, you should watch it.

Hiten Kumar perfect power pack of acting hitu kanodia is perfect drama king and story is this king heavy thriller amazing package.

They are legend actor but we forgot and just they come to show...how and what they really do Our generation take them very lightly and say backwards but king is always king...
