Phoonk is a 2008 Indian horror film directed by Ram Gopal Varma and produced by Praveen Nischol starring Sudeep. The film based on superstition and black magic. It was declared a blockbuster at the box office by several media outlets.
Verma derived the idea for the film from a Hindi news channel which telecasts stories on Black magic. A prize of ₹5 lakh (US$7,200) was announced for those who will watch the film alone in a theatre. The storyline of Phoonk is thematically similar to Telugu thriller novel Tulasi Dalam by Yandamuri Veerendranath. It was remade in Telugu as Raksha. The film was dubbed in Tamil as Bommayi. The film was followed by a sequel, Phoonk 2, in 2010.
