Khatarnak Chahat
Hollywood film Basic Instinct's Hindi version will soon hit the Indian screens as Khatarnak Chahat.
Basic Instinct, which shocked in the 1990s with Sharon Stone's brazen sexuality, is returning to Indian screens dubbed as Khatarnak Chahat. The Hindi version of the murder thriller starring Stone and Michael Douglas is releasing on Oct 1.
The Paul Verhoeven directed and Alan Marshall produced film will be released countrywide. Written by Joe Eszterhas, it was first released in 1992 and instantly became a major hit. It is also the biggest hit of Sharon Stone. Her famous pose in a tiny white dress with a cigarette in her hand made her a tinsel town queen.
Hindi version of Basic Instinct is releasing at a time when Bollywood is experimenting with bolder films. In the past few months a spate of films laden with kissing and raunchy sexuality, earlier unheard of in Bollywood, have scorcdhe the screen.

| Basic Instinct's Hindi version is on its way |
Basic Instinct deals with psychological manipulation and its repercussions and was called "a gigantic mind game that extends into the bedroom - a strange and twisted love story about homicidal impulse".
When Nick Curran (Douglas) begins investigation on the murder of a once-celebrated rock star, he makes a few astonishing discoveries.
A bloody ice pick, a white silk scarf tied to a bedpost, and evidence of an otherwise romantic evening - all lead to the involvement of three women - novelist Catherine Tramell (Stone), Catherine's girlfriend Roxy (Leilani Sarelle), and Beth Gartner (Jeanne Tripplehorn), a police psychologist counselling Nick.
