Synopsis
7 Khoon Maaf (2011) is an Indian psychological thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Director Vishal Bhardwaj adapted Ruskin Bond's short story "Susanna's Seven Husbands" — Bond himself appears on screen — into a 148-minute portrait of a woman who keeps finding the wrong man and keeps burying him. Priyanka Chopra plays Susanna.
Seven husbands, seven flawed men, seven mysterious deaths. One is a brute, one lost to opium, another a fantasist who can't be saved. Between each marriage, Susanna's devoted childhood servant Kishan witnesses everything and says nothing. John Abraham, Irrfan Khan, and Naseeruddin Shah each take a turn and disappear.
Bhardwaj made something unusual here: a Bollywood film that plays its darkness straight, without the usual tonal safety net. It runs long and takes odd turns, but for anyone curious about what Indian cinema looks like when it doesn't pull its punches, this is the right place to start. Stream 7 Khoon Maaf online on iFILM.
