There was one story starring Kawaljeet and Om Puri. Om Puri was a magician who gave human sacrifices to gain black magic powers. Due to these powers he makes a great magician and earns a lot. One day a reporter finds the secret about his powers, he tell her no to sleep else she will die. Whenever she sleeps, Om Puri enters her dream and tries to kill her. She survives many sich attacks when she wakes up she is badly bruised. She has been up since 8 days she goes to a Doctor played by Kawaljeet and asks him to give her some medicine that will keep her awake. He thinks the girl is stressed, so he gives a sedative injecttion. Suddenly she starts getting buise marks all over and dies infront of him. He is accused of having killed her but her knows its the Magician behind it. The Doctor meets the magician and tells him that he will expose the magician as he knows the truth. Now the magician thretens the doc not to sleep else he will die. How the doc gets out of it was a fantastic story to watch.
Now such stories had a supernatural theme to them but were not a mere display of Ramsay Movie like horrid makeup. Thats what Aahat is now - a display of terrible makeup. Its sooooo in your face, I can't even stand the promos.
The original
Aahat was miles ahead of the current version. What I liked was that the original series was like a mix of
Twilight Zone,
Outer Limits and traditional horror. Some stories did not have any supernatural element: just fantastic plot twists and turns. Some were sci-fi stories. And the supernatural ones were much better than the Zee Horror Show stuff we have now. Towards the end, it became more and more of a Zee Horror Show remake and from season 2 onwards it has become progressively worse.
I think it's clear what they doing: they are trying to use CID to promote Aahat 4 because that show is incapable of surviving on its own. But what they don't realize is that this will harm CID: the supernatural stuff simply shouldn't exist in CID's world. Plus Aahat is now terrible; please don't let CID be associated with it.😕
