Indian ghost movies are popular not just in India but in the Middle East, Africa, South East Asia and other parts of the world. Generally the movies are based on the experiences of modern people who are unexpectedly exposed to ghosts. Some Indian ghost movies, such as the comedy/horror film ''Chandramukhi'', have been great hits, dubbed into several languages. They usually draw on traditional Indian literature or folklore, but in some cases are remakes of Western movies, such as ''Anjaane'', based on Alejandro Amenábar's ghost story ''The Others''. ==Box office hits== The 1949 ''Mahal'' (Hindi: महल; Urdu: محل; English: ''The Mansion'') was a groundbreaking Hindi language movie directed by Kamal Amrohi and starring Ashok Kumar and Madhubala, one of the earliest known Bollywood films dealing with reincarnation. ''Mahal'' became one of the biggest box office hits of 1949 in India.〔(Mahal (1949) ) Classic Films at upperstall〕 The movie paved the way for Indian gothic fiction.
