Bhojpuri cinema is witnessing a surge in horror movies, with captivating storylines that resonate with audiences. Here are some spine-chilling films that will leave you terrified.
The Bhojpuri industry is rapidly expanding its reach. The key to its success lies in the relatable nature of its film stories. We've all grown up hearing tales of haunted peepal trees and shadowy figures on deserted roads. When films are based on such real-life plots, they strike a chord with the audience. Bhojpuri cinema often weaves its narratives around such real-life stories. We present to you a glimpse into some such films.

Released in 1992, 'Bairi Kangna' became a massive hit in the Bhojpuri industry. Its storyline was so terrifying, it is said, that people avoided watching night shows. The film enjoys the same popularity on YouTube today as it did in theatres back then. Kunal and Meera Madhuri played the lead roles. Its sequel featured Ravi Kishan and Kajal Raghwani as lead actors, and it too was well-received by the audience.
