In a flashback we discover that Jwala was poisoned by his red-clad wife (Sheetal) on his wedding night. This furious spirit is Thakur Jwala Prasad (Raza Murad). A ghostly face of an angry ghost appears and tells them his story. From the moment they enter the creepy abode, it becomes clear that it’s haunted as fuck. Their driver attempts to fix the car, while the couple try for help at a nearby big, imposing house. We meet a young married couple whose car breaks down in the middle of nowhere. The film opens with a loony and speedy intro. Why? Well, mostly because it features a hairy wife-murdering monster. It’s disjointed, regularly confusing, packed to the brim with a pile of characters who are hard to keep track of, and it’s also kind of great. There’s also a handful of torturous comedy sketches revolving around goofy, cross-eyed characters who seemed to have little to no connection to the movie. The film only ever comes to a grinding halt in its sometimes shockingly lengthy musical numbers. We jump from scene to scene, location to location at a breakneck pace. For a film that’s two and a half hours in length, Jaani Dushman is one of the most frantically, manically edited films I’ve ever seen.
