Veerana

I watched this movie only for my childhood super star Jasmine. I am sad and at the same time worried that she mysteriously and shockingly disappeared completely without any trace after the movie Veerana.. even though it was blockbuster. Does anyone know about her? where is she now ? please share, this is a humble and sincere request of a very loyal and curious fan of Jasmine.

"Veerana" is one of the most iconic horror films from the Ramsay Brothers, known for their signature style of eerie atmospheres, supernatural elements, and eerie background music. The film has gained cult status over the years, especially among fans of Indian horror classics.

The story revolves around a small town haunted by the spirit of a woman named Nakita, a witch who possesses young Jasmin (played by Jasmin). The movie takes the audience through a chilling tale of black magic, possession, and exorcism as the family tries to free Jasmin from the evil clutches of the spirit.

"Veerana" is a nostalgic trip for Bollywood horror lovers. While it may not be as terrifying by today's standards, it remains an enjoyable watch for those who appreciate vintage horror. If you love supernatural thrillers with an old-school charm, this one's a must-watch!

Veerana review :

Jai Mahakaal!!

Ramsay brothers blend of sex and horror reached to its optimal best in Veerana, a film which was not only the highest revenue earner for them but is also regarded as their best effort till date.

A witch named Nikita is exorcised by the village Thakur but its evil soul enters the body of his kiddo daughter who grows up to become a charming seductress (Jasmin). Hemant Birje and Sahila Chadda form part of the main cast but Veerana is all about Jasmin and her sex appeal.

With ample skin exposure and a dash of evil streak, Jasmin Dhunna was simply outstanding in the film. The audience just loved her and went to watch the film multiple times just to see her taking a mid night bath (wonder why most Ramsay heroines do that...whats wrong during day time??!!!) and then indulge in torrid sex with the lusty Vijay Arora before bumping him off..

Veerana has some genuine scary moments as well like a girl gazing at a fish tank only to blow it to pieces. Bappi Lahiri's music score includes 'Saathi Tu Kahan hain..' picturised on a scantily clad Jasmin on the prowl for her next victim. The bgm, locales and forced comedy (Satish Shah as desi Hitchcock) are vintage Ramsay but Veerana soars...and it soars really high due to Jasmin!!

Post Veerana, Jasmin disappeared from Bollywood fueling various rumors from her sudden death to living a comfortable life in America. Some even say she is still based in Mumbai at Yari Road, Andheri. The pretty lady could've gone places after this super hit film to her credit. Guess it wasnt meant to be!!

This is one of the best Bollywood 80's horror film. Charming actress Jasmin plays the lead role as possessed girl and she does very well. The film is copy of Hollywood 1983 film 'The Mausoleum' if anyone seen this film will know that besides the story how exactly some of the scenes were copied from 'The Mausoleum' in Veerana. Even the though it was a copy of Hollywood film the Director still manages to make this film a fun ride & entertaining film. Worth a watch!

Bollywood does not make a lot of great Horror films. In the 70s there was one Hit Jaani Dushman. If you see it now you'll see how outrageous it is. In the 80s there were the Ramsay Family, who have produced a few Horror films. Some include Purani mandir, Thakana and Dak Bangla. Veerana is no doubt their best work. After 90s there have been a few more Hit Horror Movies like Bhoot, Raaz, Raat, Vastu Shastra and Darna Mana Hai. In my opinion Veerana is better out of them all. Many people say Raaz was Great, but it was copy of Hollywood Movie what lies beneith. Veerana has its own storyline added with Indian culture. Black Magic and Witches. The witch in this movie looks a bit like a Vampire. For a 80s Bollywood film, this has some great Art added in. The way the monster is picturised is Impressive. The acting by all the Stars in this movie are Novice. The Key Girl in this movie named Jasmine who plays the daughter of the Thakur, is very Sexy and seducing. I would love to get naughty with her and who knows what happened to her after this film. It is very difficult to find this movie. I managed to Tape it when it came on Zee a decade ago. If you want to see a entertaining Horror Movie, this is the one.
