    Unforgettable by Ramsay bros.

    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.

    Copy of 'The Mausoleum' but good Bollywood Horror Film of it's time.

    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!

    depends

    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.

    Veerana (1988) - Movie Review

    "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!

    Bava-flavored, Hammeresque fun

    "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.
