    Bad movie . . . very, very bad movie

    Well, this is it folks . . . Bollywood's answer to third rate B-Movies. This is a pathetic little farce about vampyres in India. The chief vampyre looks like he is wearing a Halloween mask, the whole movie is cheap and dark looking, and basically looks like it was shot in someone's back yard. If you can't find it in your local video store, don't bother. They don't get any worse than this.

    Is it Radu?nope...Its "neola" Indian Dracula like vampire

    You guys wondering what the hell i am talking about and who is Radu? Radu is horror Dracula vampire from the movie called subspecies and any one has watched it will know my point of view,In fact band darwaza was released in 1990 before subspecies released in 1991,

    Despite of both characters similarity,i regret to say this neola triumphs with his unforgiving devilish performance,blood sucker even sucks the life of the audiences.There are jokes in the movie but that won't ease your blood pressure to normal level,iniquitous,uncanny is at its best,what i would call this vampire as one of the seven chief devils and the tempter of Faust.

    I am warning you guys This is non nonsense movie,Young girls and heart patient don't watch this movie or else neola is watching you from the window.

    Seriously Scary Vampire, seriously long film.

    "BANDH DARWAZA" may well be my personal favorite of the Ramsay Brothers horror flicks. It is in some ways the most approachable for non-Indian viewers. It's monster is a standard black cape wearing, fanged Vampire and the plot is fairly easy to follow, even without subtitles. The best part of the film is it's monster. There is nothing "suave" or "seductive" about this vampire. He's a MONSTER, plain and simple. Appearance wise, the vampire here sort of reminds me of Rondo Hatton with fangs and a cape. He's kind of a nightmare version of a cartoon Dracula, complete with black silk cape with high collar, very white fangs, and a fright-mask like face. But he's SCARY! Let me tell ya'! I'm a jaded horror film fan and this is one of the just plain nasty scariest vampires committed to film! His dialog consists mostly of "Gnaaaaarrrrghh-sssss", usually shouted while smashing through a wall or a door, or just stalking relentlessly toward the frightened protagonists. The closest American counterpart I can think of is the vampire from "THE NIGHT STALKER", all predatory beast with not a drop of Lugosi to speak of. But, at 2 1/2 hours long, the movie will try the patience of all but the most dedicated fan, and will probably send casual viewers running for their remotes. If you can stick it out through the song and dance numbers and the lengthy conversations, BANDH DARWAZA delivers with the chills!

    The perfect Indian Vampire film

    Bandh Darwaza is an eerie, scary film from the start. The film takes it's audience to the depths of Indian Vampire horror with it's well played script and casting. The plot is well versed to spook us all with goosebumps for Anirudh agarwal topped the show as Nevla the vampire. His act was so demonic that it gave us thrills with the bgm making us believe the spine chilling thriller to be real. Vijayendra ghatge convinced us all as the lead protagonist taking care of Nevla twice.

    The film promises chills, bites and scares as hell at regular intervals. Thanks to Shyam and Tulsi Ramsay for making this masterpiece.

    good because its bad

    I loved this movie because of its cheapness! I mean I laughed my butt off the whole way! I actually avoid bollywood horror movies of today cause they are not of Ramsay's anymore. All they do is remake stories verbatim of american movies. Ramsay took a general idea and made it his own.
