I first saw this in the summer of 1997 in Gaiety/Galaxy theatre in Bandra with my college friend Munna.
Coincidentally my dad n grandfather n their friends n other relatives were also ther in the theatre. I loved the movie then.
Dil to Pagal Hai winning best movie was a joke.
Virasat was hands down the best film of that year.
J. P. Dutta winning best director for Border was a double joke.
Priyadarshan deserved it.
Best cinematography for Border was again a big joke.
Virasat deserved it for its picturesque locations n colorful songs.
Dil to Pagal Hai getting 8 awards n Border getting 5 awards, it is pure atrocious.
Virasat deserved at least 10 awards.
Anil Kapoor not getting best actor award for this movie was a crime.
Revisited it few mins ago on Amazon Prime with my family. The print quality n sound quality were not good considering its been 28 years. Indian Film Federation is lousy. They haven't remastered any classics nor have they preserved old movies. Some of the black n white bollywood movies have become dinosaur. Sometimes u may come across old movies on YouTube but bad prints.
Comin back to this movie, I loved the song Taare hai... Anil Kapoor n Amrish Puri gave solid memorable performances. Milind Gunaji's character wasn't given enuff footage nor was his character well written. His character going crazy n spiteful needed some background story.
The dam scene is totally outdated but the setting of a rural village is picturesque.
Also the character of the Mausi/Aunt was suddenly added before the blast, looked not at all in sync n totally phony.
Anyone who has encountered property dispute can relate to the story n will like it.
Yours truly has encountered property dispute too.

After having enjoyed his previous Barbarian, I was looking forward to this one.
One of the best part is the small-town setting which kinda reminds of Stephen King's works.
The director succeeded in narrating a story from multiple characters' points of view and it amplified the individual motivations, emotions and the different events aka the Rashomon-style multiple viewpoints.
Another best part was the trailer which didn't give away anything.
The movie has some of the best n very effective creepy scenes which made me scream wtf. Even Josh Brolin's character says wtf after a creepy encounter.
To enjoy this movie avoid extra trailers, avoid spoilers and go in as blind as possible.
There are moments of gore, heart pounding jump scares (not the lame ones, pg13 ones present in Conjuring n Insidious).
Juila Garner gave an atrocious performance. She looks anemic, pale n downright creepy.
Josh Brolin gave a solid restrained performance.

I saw this without any expectations. Found the trailer enticing. Another thing which aroused my curiosity was LionsGate name associated with this movie.
I was not aware that this horror movie is from the same guy who wrote Purge franchise n directed the first 3 Purge movies.
This one is so different from most horror movies.
The movie is creepy n sinister at times.
The only thing missing was nudity n sex scenes. Since this one is based on a cult n paganism, it required the nudity n sex.
The screenplay was fresh.
The movie may remind viewers Get Out.
