Hindi supernatural horror-thriller Darsha has had a quiet first couple of weeks in Indian cinemas – released on October 23, the film has collected an estimated ₹8 lakh in India net, according to Sacnilk’s box-office tracker.

The film opened with five reported shows on its first day, dropping to four over the weekend and three during the following week, and by October 30, the number had fallen to two – Sacnilk’s figures put the first-week collection at around ₹6 lakh, with the total reaching approximately ₹8 lakh over its first 13 days.

BookMyShow currently has just one user review, which gives the film 10/10, well I say review, but it’s a few hashtags…

Directed by Roshan Babarao Dupare, Darsha is a small production from Aabhas Studios, where Dupare also wrote the screenplay and handled editing, while the film was produced by Aatish Babarao Dupare and Priya Roshan Dupare, and stars Akshay Khadse and Munna Gaharwal.

Its plot involves a woman who becomes possessed, and her family discovers that the spirit was murdered for money, and a couple of them get drawn into finding out what happened.

Who knows though, it may find a wider audience later through digital distribution, but no streaming release has been confirmed.

About The Author

I am a fan of movies in general and watch quite a few every week, but my love for Asian horror started in the 90’s during the J-horror boom – you know the ones – and ever since then I’ve been hooked on discovering horror from across Asia, from the classics everyone knows to the hidden gems that deserve a much bigger audience.

On this site I explore Asian horror movies from across Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Taiwan, Cambodia, Malaysia, and beyond, since the big entertainment sites tend to focus only on the biggest releases.
