Bhoot is a Bollywood film released in 2003. "Bhoot" ( भूत ) is the Nepali and Hindi word for ghost and the movie deals with the supernatural. It was directed by Ram Gopal Varma and stars Urmila Matondkar and Ajay Devgan. It was perceived to be different from a typical Bollywood movie as it did not contain songs. It became a hit and was remade in Tamil under the title Shock starring Meena and Prashanth.

[edit] Plot

The film revolves around Vishal (Ajay Devgan), a stock analyst, and his wife Swati (Urmila Matondkar). The two are in search for a flat in Mumbai. Vishal finds the perfect place on the 12th floor of a high-rise apartment building. However, the apartment has a horrifying past. The previous occupant of the flat, a young woman had killed her child and jumped from the balcony and died. Swati learns about this incident shortly after moving in and becomes oddly fixated with the story. Then, a series of inexplicable experiences drive Swati to near madness.

Vishal becomes helpless and convinced his wife has developed some sort of psychological disorder. He consults a psychiatrist, Dr. Rajan (Victor Banerjee). The couple’s maid (Seema Biswas) believes Swati to be possessed, and calls in an exorcist (Rekha).

Meanwhile, other seemingly unrelated events take place around the building. The watchman (Sabeer Masani) is being terrorized, one of the residents Sanjay (Fardeen Khan) is behaving erratically, and a murder occurs. Inspector Liaqat Quereshi (Nana Patekar) is sent to investigate the murder at the building. All the while, neither the psychiatrist nor the exorcist make much progress with Swati.
