In Indian cinema, Bollywood mystery thrillers have become one of the most well-liked subgenres due to the volume and calibre of their recent releases. The titles typically straddle multiple genres, yet what unites them are aspects of mystery fiction.
They frequently also end up serving as critiques of society and reminders of the negative consequences of poor mental health. Despite the fact that these situations very much exist in the actual world, the characters in these films experience events that are remarkably different from reality. These on-screen scenarios can provide just the perfect tension and creeping highs if handled well.
