Tisca Chopra is such a versatile actress! Loved her in Taare Zameen Par and now she's killing it in horror genre too. Bhay was genuinely scary - that village setting gave me chills. More power to women-led horror content! 👏

The BTS photos show how much effort goes into making these shows. Shooting during COVID must have been tough - respect to the entire team! Though I felt the ending could have been better, overall it was paisa vasool entertainment.

Omg that train scene gave me nightmares for days! 😱 Tisca's performance was brilliant - she made Avni Raut so believable. Indian horror is really leveling up. Can't wait for season 2 if they make one!

The show had great potential but relied too much on jump scares. Indian audiences deserve more psychological horror like Tumbbad. That said, production quality was top-notch and Tisca carried the show on her shoulders.

Loved how they blended supernatural elements with real social issues. The mining corporation vs villagers conflict was so relevant. More shows like this please! Also, that workout video Tisca posted is major fitness goals 💪

The supporting cast was fantastic too - Saurabh Shukla as Swaroop was brilliant. Shows like Bhay prove we don't need to copy Western horror, our own folk stories and settings work perfectly. JioCinema is really upping their OTT game!
