In a time when horror was taboo in Indian cinema, one filmmaking family pushed the limits of what was showable, serving hungry audiences hungry for spectacle in the communities far from Bombay. The Ramsay Brothers (Tulsi & Shyam) were Bollywood’s undisputed kings of horror, and 1989’s VEERANA is their most cracked creation.
Heavily inspired by The Exorcist (and with a heaping helping of Mario Bava’s wildly colourful style), “Veerana” tells the story of a woman possessed who is possessed by a witch to become a violent killer… and uses her seductive charms to lure unsuspecting victims. Get ready for all of the catchy music, broad comedy, and heavy melodrama you’d want from good Indian pop cinema, plus the shocking mayhem and sensuality you’ll only get from the Ramsays. Important Cinema Club Masterpiece Classics is proud to present a rare cult classic you’ve probably never seen and will certainly never forget.
