Purana mandir

Very very 80s we used to watch in summer vacations on vcr it was one of best horror movie of its time a devil was caught n burried backside temple backyard decades ago ....after some accidentally opens his chamber n devil was released again to terrify people....it contains a love story so nice songs adventure...drama comedy....thriller and action .....well a new story starts decades after the devil ended ...now rumours of tresure are getting out but with it comes the devil ....some greedy men try to steel treasure from backyard of temp in old ruiens of palace ..... Curse is on a faimly responsible n now younger generation is trying to get rid of it.

We did not have other option than ramsay for horror genre all movies had the same haveli, one thakur, ghost with cheap face mask, few sex scenes, one comedian with double meaning dialogue, one cabaret, and most important the trade mark dialogue " ye kai saal pehle ki baat hai '. This movie did scare me specially when actors stop their car to ask address to Satish shah hw did look scary and it is a very good scene. The ghost to this time had a good get up and looked scary. I enjoyed the comedy scene of lalita pawar, jagdeep and rajendra nath. Over all you should watch this ramsay horror it's fun entertaining.

I remember my parents renting this from our local Hindi video library in the 1980s. I remember seeing the poster in the shop window and Saamri's grotesque face staring lustfully at Arti Gupta's body. We used to love this movie when we were kids because it was really scary. I hear it was a tremendous hit and people in Bombay were crazy for it. The Ramsay Bros. are fantastic filmmakers and know exactly which buttons to push in order to get the right response from the audience. More than this, they had really fantastic stories that were based on old Indian myths and superstitions and delivered them with plenty of style and energy. Much like the Hammer Horror films of Britain, the Ramsay Bros. had a visual aesthetic that was uniquely their own and has never been replicated. It's a shame that they no longer make movies and have chosen instead to concentrate on India's burgeoning television market. At a time when I really couldn't hack watching glossy Bollywood musicals or listening to soppy Hindi love songs, the Ramsay Bros. movies were about the only thing we could watch collectively and really enjoy. 'Purana Mandir' is a perfect example of good Hindi commercial movie-making and deserves to be hailed as a Horror classic.

If you want one Bollywood shocker, PURANA MANDIR is good place to start. Over two hours of over-the-top gory action with wild camera angles, stunning action scenes, creepy shocks and, eh, all the cheerful singing and dancing!

ONE THE BEST MOVIES I HAVE EVER SEEN!

Argento-fans who're tired of Euro/US horrorflicks, should try this tasty hindi dish - you'll be coming back for more!!!

Purana Mandir is without any doubt one of the greatest, if not the greatest, Bollywood horror movie ever made. Directed by the famous Ramsay Brothers, it has a powerful story that grips your attention right from the start, and never let's go.

The story concerns a demonic curse bestowed on a royal family, which forbids its daughter (Aarti Gupta) from marrying. However, she falls for Monish Behl. Before they can marry, they visit, with two friends, the old palace and the nearby temple where, hundred of years ago, an extremely macabre event had taken place...

Much of the credit for the huge success of this masterpiece has to go to the perfect musical score provided by relatively unknown music director Ajit Singh. The music is essential in making this movie genuinely frightening at times. Monish Behl and Aarti Gupta both give very sincere performances, Ajay Agarwal has a very strong screen presence as Samri, and it is a pleasure to also see veteran actor Pradeep Kumar.

The DVD recently released by Mondo Macabro (part of a 2-disc release including also Badh Darwaza) is the best this movie has looked for years. Unfortunately, it is presented in 4:3 aspect ratio, but this is how the movie was originally made.

I would rate this movie right up there with Raaz as the best Bollywood has given its audience in terms of horror.

And, oh, did I forget to say that Purana Mandir also has the most beautiful and haunting love song ever to grace the Indian silver screen, sung by no other than...Ajit Singh himself.
