Veerana

Veerana (transl. Deserted Place) is a 1988 Indian Hindi-language erotic supernatural horror film directed by Shyam and Tulsi Ramsay, credited as the Ramsay Brothers. It stars Jasmin as a woman who becomes possessed by the spirit of a dead witch, turning her into a bloodthirsty creature who seduces and kills men. The film's music was composed by Bappi Lahiri and songs were sung by Suman Kalyanpur, Mohammad Aziz and Sharon Prabhakar.

Made on a low budget, Veerana has been described as a cult film that garnered success on home video and in television airings. The film's antagonist, Jasmin, has been referred to as "one of the most iconic Ramsay monsters".

The movie begins with priests, who surround a young boy tied up inside a cage in a cave. He pleads with them to spare him and asks what they want from him. A priest says that his blood and flesh will give life to Nakita. Just then a young woman enters the cage. She removes the bat locket from her neck, transforms into a witch and kills the boy.

Thakur Mahendera Pratap Singh finds out that a witch named Nakita is creating havoc in an adjoining forest. One night, his little daughter comes to him and says that villagers have got a dead body outside. He goes and sees the corpse of the boy, who was presumably killed by a witch. Mahendra Pratap decides to investigate for himself, and his younger brother Sameer Pratap decides to go on a witch hunt. Pratap gifts an "OM" to his brother and wishes him good luck, while giving his blessings.

Sameer drives through the forest and meets a young woman who gets a ride in Sameer's car. They arrive at the old mansion, where Sameer seduces her. He snatches the bat locket from her, but she turns into the witch Nakita. Sameer weakens her with the OM and she is taken to the village, where she is killed. A tantric known as Baba, manages to steal her body along with his followers, and takes it to the shrine, where he keeps it in a sarcophagus and promises her that he will provide her, a new body.

Sameer later goes to Mussoorie to drop his niece, Jasmin, at her boarding school, but the car overheats and stops in the forest. Sameer leaves to fetch water. However, Baba suddenly creeps out and hypnotises Jasmin, cuts a piece of her hair, and places the bottle in the witch's sarcophagus. A hypnotised Jasmin gets out of the car and walks to the shrine. Sameer returns and is shocked to find Jasmin missing, and follows her through a bushy trail. At the tomb, the witch suddenly pulls Jasmin inside. Sameer tries to save her but it's too late, as the witch's evil spirit already manages to enter Jasmin's body. Soon, Sameer is captured and killed by Baba's men.

Baba then brings Jasmin back, to the mansion. Baba informs Mahendra's family about the death of his brother, who drifted away into a river during a storm. After taking Jasmin back to her room, Thakur leaves the servants in charge of her and goes downstairs to meet Baba. Baba asks to leave, but Thakur requests that he stays back to protect his daughter. Preeti notices a difference in Jasmin's behaviour and convinces her brother-in-law to get a witch-doctor to treat Jasmin, but Nakita overhears this and kills Preeti. Thakur then decides to send his niece Sahila to stay with her grandmother for her safety.

12 years later, Thakur receives a letter from Sahila, who ranked first in her examinations. Jasmin had grown into a young woman and her moody behaviour worries her father. Thakur informs Baba that his niece wants to spend her summer vacation at his mansion. Baba directs one of his servants to kidnap Sahila to prevent her coming, but a man attacks Sahila's car and chases after her, but a man named Hemant turns up and rescues her. Back in the village, Jasmin meets a man, who is a mechanic at the fuel station. She is impressed by his works and invites him to come over to the mansion. When the man arrives, they both drink and dine together. But while drunk, he pulls Jasmin into the bed and they have sex. He wakes up at midnight, sees Jasmin laying motionless in the bed, and tries to run away frightened, but fails. Jasmin wakes up, possessed by the witch and stabs the man to death. The man's body is found by the police but it's unrecognisable. Hemant and Sahila both reach the mansion together. Thakur Saab is happy to see Sahila after being saved by Hemant, gives him a job in his timber factory, and accepts him as his son.
