If you only see one Bollywood horror film in your life, it should be VEERANA. The story follows Jasmin, a bloodsucking seductress who leads men to their doom after being possessed by the spirit of a witch. Unless Jasmin’s family can find a way to break the curse, she’ll be used in a Satanic ritual to raise the real witch from her tomb. A kaleidoscopic dream zone full of Bava-esque lightning, gloopy monsters, and a killer synth score, this is the most extravagant production from the Ramsay family—India’s most popular and successful horror filmmakers. Never before available to screen in North America, VEERANA is newly restored and primed to delight your audience with Satanic fury.
