Why horror is such a hit at the Bollywood box office

Stree which released a week ago and The Nun, the new segment in the popular The Conjuring franchise, have wiped out all competition at the Indian box office. Stree, a horror-comedy featuring Rajkummar Rao as a simpleton obsessed with a mysterious woman, raked in above 65 crore rupees in the first week. The Nun has opened to huge crows in English and three Indian languages. So is horror the new hero at the box office? Says trade analyst Amod Mehra that all over the world horror films have a set loyal viewership who love this genre of movies. So it's no surprise that The Nun too has done well. Plus, both the films hardly have any opposition. Stree actually worked more for its comedy than horror. According to Rahul Mittra horror works as it gives the audience the thrill of vicarious terror in the safety of the movie theatre. In the end there���������s a good film and a bad one and as long as films evoke in you a plethora of emotions, films will be lapped up by the audiences. Writer-director Akshat Verma agrees with Mittra and says that of all the genres, horror is usually the most robust. Horror fans are more supportive of cinema than any other.
