My Take
Vikram Bhatt earns my respect as a genuine genre craftsman. Born in Mumbai into the Bhatt filmmaking dynasty, he popularized Indian horror through the Raaz series and also drew a Best Director nomination for the Aamir Khan drama Ghulam, proving range beyond scares. Directing, writing, and producing across decades, he helped make horror a viable, beloved category in an industry that often resists it. People underrate the skill of genuinely frightening an audience; making the back of someone's neck prickle is its own kind of artistry. Bhatt has quietly built a body of work that other Indian filmmakers still borrow from.
