Veerana

So, like, can't a witch-cult just groove in the dark forest, hanging out in their cave lair, worshipping their horned deity of choice, following the left-hand path, being dirty hippies, playing board games on their magickal zodiac table with stoned morel-headed demon-types, especially after spending all that time coming up with such a rad scorpion/skull/spider/bat decorating scheme? Not if the object of your immediate affections, a magnetically seductive witch who has her own haunted pad just up the path, complete with mirrored wet-bar, four-poster bed, bath for two, forked lightning and cobwebs, spends her evenings roaming the dark forest as a demon/witch/bat, and periodically seducing men to sacrifice and drink up all of their tasty hot steaming blood. Then the local village boss, who owns a saw-mill, has to get involved, sending his brother over to 'take care' of this witch with a bedazzled AUM-on-a-stick. Things seem settled until the brother and the daughter of the village boss are driving to her school right past the witch-pad and she gets kidnapped by the aggrieved dirty hippie warlock in order to resurrect their beloved witch.

That is the set-up of Veerana. If you dig lurid lighting, dramatic eye-region zooms, groovy witch-cults, horned deities and can tolerate attempts at off-color broad humor, song/dance numbers that seem redolent both of the early 60's and the 1980's, you will more than likely enjoy this movie. I certainly did.

"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!

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.

THIS IS ONE OF BEST HORROR OF ALL TIME IN BOLLYWOOD. ALL THE CHARACTER ARE GOOD BUT JASMINE WAS BEST OF ALL AND LOCATION IS ALWAYS SCARY IN ALL THE RAMSAY FLICKS SO ITS MUST WATCH MOVIE.

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!
