Veerana

"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.

Can't be better with this budget and in eighty's. People are writing reviews in this century. Please imagine the charm when Ramsays movies were played in halls. I have personally witnessed the fear of my parents in 1993 after watching zee horror show. The movie was made according to the time. One of the cult classic of Ramsays. My love for horror is due to Ramsay Brothers. Miss u all....

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.

"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!

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.
