Next week, Kartik Aaryan’s Freddy is eyeing its release on Disney+Hotstar. The movie apart from Aaryan stars Alaya Furniturewala in the lead role. Through various promotional teasers, we are guessing that Aaryan plays a psychopath who has a particular obsession with teeth. But before we examine his performance, let’s see 5 Bollywood movies based on psychopaths.
Gupt: The Hidden Truth – Zee5
It of a kind film, the movie stars Bobby Deol, Manisha Koirala, and Kajol. The film has an unexpected twist at the end and brilliant performances by the ladies.
Kajol emerges as the star of the film and it is a must-watch if you wanna watch a proper psychopathic thriller.
Raman Raghav 2.0 – Zee5/Prime Video
Raman Raghav 2.0 is about a man who is inspired by serial killer Raman Raghav. Nawazuddin Siddiqui plays the extremely terrifying serial killer who is challenged by an equally eerie cop played by Vicky Kaushal.
The movie is not an easy watch so hold yourself firmly because it can get unsettling at parts.
Kaun? – YouTube
In the era of the 90s, this cult classic thriller came and was undoubtedly ahead of its time. The film has an extremely tight screenplay with only three actors in it.
Just to tempt you more, they are as great as Urmila Mandotkar, Manoj Bajpayee, and Sushant Singh. Up until the last few minutes, you might not be able to guess the killer but the film will keep you engaged throughout.
Murder 2 – YouTube VOD
We realize that Murder 2 is famous for its erotic scenes but we usually dismiss a path-breaking performance by a relatively unknown actor.
Prashant Narayan played his role so perfectly that the film comes close to a proper horror show. The film has a pretty average storyline but Narayan saves the show.
Darr – Prime Video
Probably the most famous psychopath comes from Darr. And why not? After all, he is Shahrukh Khan.
It was the initial phase of the actor and he outshined Sunny Deol through it. Darr has a love-obsessed psychopath. He doesn’t have all the characteristics of a proper psychopath but he is certainly close to that.
