Standout Aspects

Heads up:Sexual Content: Multiple supernatural sexual assault scenes, handled with exploitative 2000s sensationalism.·Disturbing: Psychiatric institutionalization and gaslighting of a traumatized woman.

Trivia

This was marketed as Bollywood's answer to The Entity but with added song sequences, because of course it was.

Cultural

Hawa is part of a weird 2003-2004 wave of Indian supernatural horror obsessed with explicitly sexual ghosts—Raaz, Bhoot, and this all dropped within months of each other.
