Bees Saal Baad review :

An early 1988 release. Directed by veteran Raj Kumar Kohli. Dimple was cast as the bhatakti aatma who traps her past life lover Mithun Chakraborty reborn again. Meenakshi played his present janam wifey. The same plot was recycled in Salman Khan's Suryavanshi (1992) with Amrita Singh as the evil bhoot and Sheeba as the support wife. Both the films were box office duds.

Regards, Sumeet Nadkarni.

A good horror flick

I remember watching Bees Saal Baad as a child and covering my face every time Dimple Kapadia's hand stretched to get the hammer. :) I was truly fascinated (and scared of) with that scene.

More than 20 years later, I don't find the film scary any more but yes, it is entertaining. The film had top stars in Mithun Chakraboty, Meenakshi Seshadri and Dimple Kapadia and a superb musical score by Laxmilkant-Pyarelal working in its favor. Plus, Jagdeep hammed all over the screen, which back then, did seem funny.

I don't quite remember if the film was a hit (I think it was), but it still amounts to good entertainment. Given the fact that it was made in the 80's, it is packed with songs and dance and comedy and over the top acting. But it is still fun! And yes, compared to director Rajkumar Kohli's earlier horror flick Jaani Dushman, this was a masterpiece!
