MOVIE SUMMARY
In Veerana: Vengeance of the Vampire, a local landowner’s
daughter is possessed by the spirit of a dead witch and becomes a
bloodsucking seductress. On the next moonless night, she will be
used in a hideous ritual to raise the evil witch from her tomb.
Veerana is one of the most popular horror films made by the Ramsay
Brothers. It was also one of their most controversial.
Its sexually charged theme of a female vampire seeking out
and seducing her male victims before draining them of their blood
was a shocker by mid-80s Bollywood standards and the film’s release
was delayed by censorship problems for a number of years. The film’s
female lead, Jasmin, became a sensation but she disappeared
following the film’s premier and was never seen again on screen. Her
whereabouts remain a mystery to this day.
