List of the Top 10 Horror Movies in Hindi

Creepy, scary, horrifying, chilling and mysterious are some adjectives you can use for the films in this list. I have watched all of them, and trust me, Hindi cinema has produced some real gems in this genre. Let's now read about the top 10 horror movies in Hindi. 

1. 13B: Fear Has a New Address

If we are making a list of the best Indian horror movies, 13B, starring R. Madhavan, is a must-add. I saw this film when I was in class 7th, and I couldn't sleep for two whole days. The horror is real, guys! So, in the film, Manohar (R. Madhavan) moves into a new house with his pregnant wife, mother and sister. Strange, eerie things start happening, which everyone in the family ignores except Manohar. For instance, the elevator works for everyone in the building except him. Meanwhile, Manohar's family members get hooked on a television show, "Sab Khairiyat". What catches Manohar's attention is that everything happening in the show happens to him and his family in real life. This includes his wife's miscarriage, his sister's accident and many other incidents. When Manohar goes to the television station to enquire about the show, he finds out that the show that his family watches every day at 1 pm is a different show and is not telecasted by the company.

Upon reaching the same sugarcane field, the couple loses their path but eventually finds a way out. Sakshi then meets the driver's wife, Devi, an orthodox woman, but soon develops a bond with her. Hemant then leaves for the city to find a solution to their financial problems. Sakshi then meets three children running around the house and tries to talk to them. However, Devi stops her by saying that the house is haunted by her sister-in-law's ghost, who has killed three sons of Devi, her own husband and cut open her own womb.
