Veerana

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!!

Honestly, I still think this movie has good horror potential you know why? Because of its low a$$ budget!!! High budget horror movies are not as scary. There's something about low budget horror movies (Halloween part one) that just dominates all other high budget horror movies. I'm the kind of individual that can fall asleep in a haunted house after having just watched exorcist but I still think I can analyze horror movies since I watched them ever since I was a child.

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 best of the Indian horror films I've managed to find, to date. Like the other Ramsay Brothers productions I've watched, this one has the same Bava-like use of colored gels mixed with atmospheric sets. There's an over-the-top evil Tantric Priest who might have stepped directly out of an Indian horror comic-book, a wonderful Femme Fatale monster who preys upon the predictable weaknesses of men, plenty of fight scenes--of varying qualities, and some genuine demon-possession/monster chills. The song and dance numbers are relatively easy to take, compared to other films in the genre. Overall, this has been my favorite film to show to friends as an introduction to the Indian horror genre since I bought it.

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.
