Kaalo is India's first creature horror movie which is directed by Wilson Louis. This film is produced by Yash Patnaik, Mamta Patnaik and Dhaval Gada which is slated to release on 17 December 2010. This film is produced under the Beyond Dreams Entertainment Ltd. banner. Kaalo is also India's first creature based daytime horror movie. This film is about a witch who killed young girls of a village.
In Europe, Africa and Asia, many years ago witchery/witchcraft was practiced profoundly. It has been discovered that between 11th and 19th century nearly ninety lakhs women who were believed to possess supernatural powers like witches, were cruelly killed in such regions. In India too in eastern and northern India there were many cases of witchcrafts and witch-hunts found.
Every such event had a tale. Kaalo's tale is inspired by 1 such folk tale about a Witch whose mane was Kaalo and who used to kill young nubile girls so that she could gain power and become immortal.
Kaalo was a witch who lived in village Kulbhata during the 18th century. Since she killed young girls for her immortality she too was murdered by the furious villagers of that village and was buried. But many years after that incident Kaalo appears again to take revenge of her death.
This time she had become more dangerous than before. Geeting scared of her arrival all the villagers of Kulbhata vacate that village overnight.
Kaalo had sealed all the roads which lead to that village and if any outsider tried to enter that village he/she was killed by Kaalo.
Once a bus had to pass through that road which carried 11 passengers and Kaalo was there to kill them.
Shona (played by Swini Khara of Cheeni Kum) was one of the passengers on the bus who was a twelve-year-old girl. She was traveling alone to spend her holiday at her grandmother's home in the adjacent village.
Shona was intelligent, witty and jolly. She soon became the life of the trip. Everyone loved her appealing manners. Especially the cloistered and reserved Sameer, who was traveling with a bag loaded with gun powder to blast a small hillock which would give way to a water canal for his drought hit village.
Badly disfigured and parched for blood, Kaalo could stench the girl from far away... and headed straight for the bus...
She was going to kill everyone who came in her way... At any cost she was going to get the girl...
When the passengers became conscious they were gazing into death everything distorted... From being the life of the journey, Shona became their only cause for dying.
Everyone wanted her to get out of the bus... Some even used her as a enticement to tempt Kaalo away from themselves... Human associations changed as people fought for their continued existence...
But one man stood up to Shona and he was Sameer.
For Sameer it didn't matter if Kaalo was a human being or a witch...
All he knew was that he has to guard Shona... And time was running out! What was to be done..

Critic Reviews
Horror films are considered to be very safe subject for film business worldwide because they neither need high budget nor big star cast. They don't even need lavish and beautiful locations. The ugly the location: the better the film's visual. People do not go to theaters to watch horror movies with their families, except in rare cases. Yet such films recover the amount invested in making such films because there is a special class who go to watch such films. Yet many producers and directors fail to produce and direct good horror movies which can't even attract that special class to the theaters. KAALO is one of such Hindi films released on 17th December 2010. The director of this horror movie is Wilson Lewis who has recently directed HO SAKTA HAI and MALLIKA. It seems that making horror films are his passion. But the way he couldn't create any charm in his previous films, this film too is not going to scare you or keep you hooked till the end. The only difference from other horror movies (whether his own or of others) is that it is a horror film created in daytime. Other horror films are made mostly on night scenes with scary locations, cloudy nights, darkness, spiders in the locations etc. But this film is mostly shot in daytime so this point makes this film different but is this point enough for you to watch it?Story: KAALO was a witch in the 18th century in a village named Kulbhata. It was believed that she had kept killing many young girls in order to gain power and become immortal. Finally the villagers killed her and buried her there and remained in peace for many years. But after some years they come to know that Kaalo had returned back to life and to their village. The villagers get scared and terrified and vacate that village overnight so that they could not be the victims of Kaalo's wrath.Kaalo returns and is going to avenge her death. She is on the hunt of the villagers. The thrill is that a bus will pass from that way where Kaalo is waiting for revenge and that bus contains 11 passengers. What will happen to those bus passengers? Will Kaalo get success in taking revenge from the villagers? What would be her end? How would the villagers get rid of Kaalo? Such answers make the rest of the film.The director has attempted to create suspense till the interval by keeping secret of Kaalo. Who is responsible for the killings is kept secret. Finally Kaalo appears with huge bat wings.Camera work by Pushpank Gawade is okay and sound department and back ground music by Rahul Ranade is also good. This film lacks some chilling moments which is a must element in horror films. The actors have done their part well. Swini Khera is good in her character and has justified her role. Aditya Shrivastav of CID fame too has performed well. Paintal is as usual. This film may scare children but not you. But this film is not for children. Director: Wilson Louis Cast: Swini Khara, Aditya Srivastav, Paintal, and others Verdict: Go for it only if you have extra time and money to spend.
