Unlike the Ramsays, who spent money on the music and the masks and the character actors - when they found willing ones among the better-known men and women - Bhakri spent on posters. They were classier, even if the films were rubbish. 😂

Only in India, one imagines, would makers of horror films spend more money on the music than on most other things.

As we have noted before, one of the things about the Ramsay films is that they almost had good supporting actors.

Don't do a horror film unless you're the monster!

You couldn't have a Ramsay film that was meant for children. That would've been insulting. One: it would've meant that it wasn't scary enough. Two: it would've meant that there was no sexual content or at least prurient content. Then who would have been the audience?

You might never have watched a Ramsay film, but you know of them all the same; at least once in your life, somewhere, sometime, the word 'Ramsay' is likely to have cropped up. Maybe around a haunted house, ord during a somewhat bizzare situation, or, if you're unkind, when you see truly unattractive face.
