Four brave souls watch Vicky Kaushal’s Bhoot Part One The Haunted Ship alone and their reactions are priceless

Vicky Kaushal is back on the big screen after a long gap with a horror film Bhoot Part One: The Haunted Ship. The film has already hit the theaters today but there were four brave souls who watched the film at a special screening on Thursday. While they were the lucky ones to see the film before anybody else, they also had to watch it alone. ‘Four Brave Souls’, as Dharma Productions put it, were made to watch the horror film inside an empty movie theater and their reactions were filmed.

The production house shared a video on social media in which the four viewers are seen jumping in their seats and shrieking as they watch Vicky Kaushal’s film all alone. The actor had already claimed that the film is a pure horror film without any romance or comedy combined with it. The caption of eth video read, “4 brave souls. Each alone in a theatre. With nothing but fear around. Watch what happens when they take up this challenge of watching #Bhoot #TheHauntedShip at night!”

This challenge has been the oldest leaf out of Paranormal Activity’s book that makers use to promote their horror films. A similar campaign has been used to promote other Bollywood films like Ragini MMS, 1920, Phoonk, Phobia and others. The video also shows the viewers expressing their experience of watching the film. “This is the first Bollywood horror movie that I’ve actually liked,” one of the viewers says at the end of the video.
