7. Ek Thi Daayan (2013)

The thought of daayans existing in society is spooky in itself. Ek Thi Daayan is a brave attempt at trying something new.

The supernatural drama may seem unrealistic but the stylized treatment and the taut storyline make up for it, not to mention Konkona Sen’s eerie portrayal of a daayan. Spooky indeed!

9. Darna Mana Hai (2003)

Only Ramu can make apples look scary. This flick by RGV features in this list not because it is scary but because of its innovative script. Ramu packs in 6 of the most creative short stories in one movie, each with outrageous twists. No wonder they call him a maverick!

10. Raaz (2002)
