Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on Konkona's own short story, this was one of Bollywood's rare attempts at literary horror rather than masala jump-scares.
The film's iconic lullaby 'Yaaram' was so haunting that Vishal Bhardwaj reused its melody in Haider. Also: that apartment was a real decrepit Mumbai building they barely had to dress.
