Bollywood has a glorious, unapologetic tradition of making movies that make you scratch your head, roll your eyes, and yet—somehow—leave you grinning ear to ear. These are the —films so deliciously absurd, so magnificently over-the-top, they deserve their own genre.
Akshay Kumar as Dr. Aditya Shrivastava is the anti-hero of madness. He plays a psychiatrist who pretends to be a tantrik to cure a woman with Dissociative Identity Disorder. The climax, where he confronts the Manjulika persona, asks a profound question: Is the ghost real, or is the human mind just incredibly, terrifyingly pagal ?
These films explore psychosis, split personalities, or madness as a plot device. Not always accurate, but gripping.
