    Cast: Atul Kulkarni, Rituparna Sengupta, Anupam Kher

    Director: Aku Akbar

    What happens if you are a zipping-on-the-career-path couple, and you catch pregnant? Option A: you have the baby, and re-adjust to your changed lives. Option B: you don't have it, wait for a few years, and then have one. End of story?

    Not if you are Atul and Rituparna, heading for a hilly weekend getaway, with your headstrong daughter. Your past will come back to haunt you, in the shape of your little girl's look-alike. Doors will bang. Shadows will startle. And the ghost, just like the creepy, sooty-eyed bhoots from The Ring and other recent Hollywood rip-offs of Japanese horror movies, will make sure that water spills out of tubs, and drips out in black rills.

    Gauri is a weird mix of badly-done shlock, and a rant against abortion: Anupam Kher as hysterical dadaji comes on only to berate his son and daughter-in-law. The poor mom and dad leap at shadows, and cry copious tears. And try running when they can.
