Hawa is ''inspired'' (and we all know what that means) by a film called The Entity. Unfortunately, the directors skimped a bit on research, and ended up with the lone-nut-f1-racing-desperate-invisible-man theory. Forget JFK, this is a bigger conspiracy. And just when Indian cinema was looking to shake off the deadwood. This films rotten. We arent out of the woods as yet. And waiting for the worms. (obscure pink floyd reference ALERT! )
Frankly, there ARE scarier things in here than Tabu in tight jeans. (hard to imagine, no? ) But the horror is often meaningless, and the longer the film gets, the louder the background music (''inspired'' by psycho incidently) gets. The film was rated A for sexual violence, but instead it should have been rated B for Brainless Dribbel. (wait, is there even a word like that? )
Mist of the story -> Apparently, the air around the house is not just air but a strange thing that doesnt get too much of IT these days, leading ''it'' to come into the house and get IT on with the beautiful lady of the house (which house? aaah, that spooky old creaky BIG house they live in.. they? tabu, her brother, and her 2 irritating and cannot-act-for-nuts kids.. and husband? no he left them all long back.. much to his credits ..err .. credit)
Of course, its not often you wake up finding a strange man in your bed, and even rarer to find a strange invisible man in your bed (in your body actually, but ill skip the details), so naturally, she's a bit horrified. By the time it happens the third time, she kind of starts suspecting something's amiss. sarcasm overflow!
But the scariest scene in the entire movie is when she actually begins to enjoy it. Look at the big-O expression on Tabu's face, ewww, who needs the entity? Scary ! Gives the old saying ''when you cant prevent the rape, learn to enjoy it'' a whole new twist.
Anyway, turns out that her brother isnt her brother at all but a foster brother, by a second husband to her mother. The doctors etc suspect him (how he became invisible, is a side issue.. ). Well, Everythings relative, but this is too much!
Anyway, as usual, ghostbuster makes a late entry, and I suppose he fixes everything (including hopefully her sad and dead sex life, which the docs suspect is the root cause of all this anyway). I dont know the end, I left the movie towards the ending.
Watch it! no! what am I saying!!
