Today’s song is the last and final song from a Horror film- Darwaza-1978.
I have been seeing films (Hindi, English, Marathi, Telugu, Kannada, Gujarathi and Tamil) since the late 1940s and have seen films of almost every genre, but I always avoided watching Horror films. One reason was that the Horror films made in Hindi were of very low quality, poor stories, poorer music and the audience of lower strata of society, generally. Not that the educated people are not fond of Horror films, but their percentage is very less. Such people increased after well known filmmakers started making Horror films.
