There’s the very fun Reshma (Reena Roy), a sexy lady who cross dresses as a moustachioed man for reasons I didn’t understand. There’s Thakur’s shit son, Shera (Shatrughan Sinha), who likes to molest women, and is confusingly presented as something of an anti-hero. There’s Thakur (Sanjeev Kumar), the benevolent dictator of the village who is considered a literal god by the idiotic villagers. No one knows what happened, but we do! It was the hairy bride-killing monster! We begin to meet all the important people in the village. We’re thrown into the middle of some village drama where a local bride has just been kidnapped. Problem solved, right? NO! We’re only five minutes into the film! We then flash forward some kind of small amount of time. So anyway, the bride’s dead, so is the creepy guy that Prasad possessed. The camera becomes a wild mess of wild angle lenses and fast cuts, and, while they’re not gory scenes, they’re pretty brutal and unpleasant. The murder scenes in Jaani Dushman are utterly insane and genuinely unsettling. Hurray! Uh, but yeah… then they get on a train and the monster kills them. The monster chases them, but they manage to escape. The terrified married couple see this go down and run away.

He turns into a hairy, long-armed monster and kills the bride by crushing her neck with his giant, hairy foot. He’s forcing himself upon the bride when suddenly he becomes possessed by Prasad’s evil spirit, which I guess just makes him extra evil? He was, after all, already a raper. The spirit of Prasad chases the married couple out of his haunted house then WHAM! We cut to what appears to be a totally unrelated scene of a creepy guy (played by the face that haunted my childhood - Amrish Puri of Temple of Doom!) who has kidnapped a bride. Prasad’s angry soul lives on, killing any bride in red he comes across. She married him for his money and ran off, cashed up, with her lover. In a flashback we discover that Jwala was poisoned by his red-clad wife (Sheetal) on his wedding night. This furious spirit is Thakur Jwala Prasad (Raza Murad). A ghostly face of an angry ghost appears and tells them his story. From the moment they enter the creepy abode, it becomes clear that it’s haunted as fuck.

Their driver attempts to fix the car, while the couple try for help at a nearby big, imposing house. We meet a young married couple whose car breaks down in the middle of nowhere. The film opens with a loony and speedy intro. Why? Well, mostly because it features a hairy wife-murdering monster. It’s disjointed, regularly confusing, packed to the brim with a pile of characters who are hard to keep track of, and it’s also kind of great.

There’s also a handful of torturous comedy sketches revolving around goofy, cross-eyed characters who seemed to have little to no connection to the movie. The film only ever comes to a grinding halt in its sometimes shockingly lengthy musical numbers. We jump from scene to scene, location to location at a breakneck pace. For a film that’s two and a half hours in length, Jaani Dushman is one of the most frantically, manically edited films I’ve ever seen.
