Horror films in Bollywood are more or less a combination of clichéd thrills, possessed women and sex; the last one pulling more people to cinema halls than the other two combined. Saansein’s formula is not very different but it doesn’t fixate too much on erotic scenes. There is a horny ghost of a jilted lover though. Yes, that’s the ‘horror’ you have to deal with.
So our damsel in distress, Shirin, sings soulful romantic numbers at a happening club but every day, as the clock strikes 12.30 am, she disappears. After a guy dies under mysterious circumstances while trying to get too close to her, a police investigation begins and Shirin is the prime suspect. Soon after, our knight in shining armour, Abhay, comes to Mauritius and falls in love with Shirin. But love stories aren’t that simple, are they? One night, at the behest of Shirin’s friend and boss Tania (Neetha Shetty), Abhay witnesses the torture Shirin has to endure at the hands of a ghost (yes, the horny one). Turns out, the ghost is that of a jilted lover from Shirin’s ‘pichhla janam’. Well, who would’ve known?
