The serial focussed on different genres and was arguably the best special effect user in those days. What made X-Zone special was the mix of emotions in each of its episodes. Many great actors like Irrfan Khan, Kay Kay Menon, Ashutosh Rana were a part of this series. However, the stories were deemed too complex by many and hence the popularity of the show suffered. The storylines were different and engrossing, while the script was very much mature. It went on air just after Zee Horror Show went off in 1998. X-Zone was critically more acclaimed than both Zee Horror Show and Aahat, yet didn’t manage to garner the kind of popularity the other two shows got. It was a horror show in the real sense and not even single show has come near its popularity, speaks about the popularity of this show. All-in-all Zee Horror Show still remains uncontested when it comes to spreading terror and havoc amongst the Indian audience. Some episode storylines were picked up from Hollywood horror movies of that time, while some were original scripts. Others like Ajinkya Deo, Pallavi Joshi, Nishigandha Wad, Pankaj Dheer, Archana Puran Singh also gained fame through the serial. Javed Khan was hailed as the most talented actor on the television scene once, owing to his performances in this series. Unlike Aahat, Zee Horror Show had a fixed actor set which was utilized for almost all of its episodes. Zombies, dreading sounds and the presence of ghosts was an essential element of any Zee Horror Show episode. Produced by Ramsay brothers, audience knew what to expect. Zee Horror Show was a Horror show in its typical sense.

These episodes were found to be pale in comparison to the earlier Aahat seasons and expectedly, were taken down sooner rather than later. However, the magic of the first season was very difficult to replicate. R Madhavan, Mandira Bedi, Govind Namdeo, Om Puri, Mohan Gokhale, Shivaji Satam and multiple other well known faces today were a part of Aahat series.Īahat managed to sustain its popularity even in the 2 nd season and 3 rd also was declared a hit. Many great actors acted in Aahat as well. Aahat in my opinion had the best story-telling technique on Indian television amongst all the serials I have seen. Each episode told a unique story, refreshing and engrossing. Another episode featured on the zombie nature of a nightclub, where strange incidents keep happening. For instance, an episode covered the theme of gambling wherein a poor father needs money to pay for his son’s operation. It wasn’t initially a ghost series, but rather focussed on all sub-genres of suspense and horror.

It was first produced under Akshaya productions, but got its huge share of fame when BP Singh of CID fame took over. After starting its reign of terror way back in 1996, Aahat was televised on Thursdays at 10 PM timeslot. The name is almost synonymous for horror genre in India.
