Do Gaz Zameen Ke Neeche (1972)
It's our first Hindi zombie film! The last time our zombie hunt took us to Asia, it was in the racist, American-produced REVOLT OF THE ZOMBIES (1936); now we finally have a chance to see what Indian filmmakers do with the zombie. What unfolds is a strangely compelling fusion of erotic thriller and supernatural revenge story, in which a good-hearted scientist falls prey to the machinations of a femme fatale. If only she'd known he was researching a zombification formula, she might have chosen a different target for her scam. Get ready for endless song routines, over-the-top fistfights, and of course, the walking dead in DO GAS ZAMEEN KE NEECHE.
