Veerana (वीराना)

Veerana...

The film you are about to see is a work of fiction

And yet it is closely based on ancient legends and folk tales

The film deal with evil powers, ghosts, spirits, witches, Black magic

None of which have any place in our modern world

we advise you to watch this film as entertainment only

It is pure fiction and should he treated as such

Behold Mahakal!

The master of all who seek evil in this world

Forsaking the path of virtue, they choose the path of evil

They forsake God,

and seek succour with the devil

Behold Na kit a!

Her lustful body infused with Black magic

To fulfill her evil desires she wanders the Black night of death

searching for the light of life

Behold satan's slave!

A wizard who practices Black magic

to ruin innocent lives and bring destruction

Hail Mahakal!

Let me go!

Please... Let me go!

Let me go!

Who are you?

Who are you?

What are you doing?

Why have you brought me here?

What do you want?

Listen to me...

This night' Na kit a will quench her thirst by drinking your warm blood

No! No!...

Hail Mahakal!

They've found a dead body

A dead body?

Who is it?

It's a stranger, Thakur sir

We found four of them

In the dark forest

Hanging from the trees or floating in the lake

This has been going on for many years

But who kills them?

A woman

She meets travellers at night, far from the village

She seduces them with her body and leads them astray

Then she sucks the blood from them

But these are just old wives' tales

We don't believe in ghosts and witches today

You should believe, sir. Witches exist

- But who's ever seen one? - I have, sir

A few years back, I was returning here from the city

I lost my way and wandered into the lonely forest

There I saw a beautiful girl lurking behind the trees

But, before my eyes, she turned into a bat

and she flew onto my face

And she clawed at my flesh

I've seen death with my own eyes, Thakur sir

If this story is true...

If a witch haunts that lonely place, then I should be able to find her

You want to find her? Have you gone crazy?

If not me, then at least think about your daughter

God forbid something happens to you

Nothing will happen to me' Preeti

Don't get so worried

But why put yourself in such danger?

It's our duty to serve and to protect those weaker than us

What my brother Sameer says is true

It's the only way to quash their fears

Here

Let God protect you

It looks like the Villagers were right ah out this witch

- Where are you headed? - To where this road leads

But there's nothing there' only the dark forest

My house is in that dark forest

Do you live all alone here, in this big house?

If you want you can stay here with me tonight

This is a fine room

It's my bedroom

I like your bedroom very much

I'll quench this desire not with alcohol but with water

Looks like you're getting ready to slay me

You're a killer, I'm a killer. Let's waste no more time

Get out of those clothes and come here

I want to explore every inch of you

You're clinging to me as a snake clings to the sandalwood tree

Your skin is just like a serpent's skin

A poisonous serpent

Be careful

This serpent might bite

Witch!

Poisonous serpent!

I knew that you were no human' but a witch

Kill her!

Hail Mahakal!

Na kit a

They destroyed your body

But your spirit lives on

I'll find you a new body

The body of Thakur Mahindra Pratap's daughter

Sameer, I don't know why, hut I feel uneasy about this trip

Stay here today

I know you care about me, but you have no need to worry

Daddy, vacation finished 4 days ago

If I don't go back to school my friends will worry

You worry more about friends than about work

Brother' your daughter is starting to grow up

I'll take Jasmin to school and return tomorrow

After all Massouri is not far

Why have we stopped, uncle?

I'll check it out

The engine's over heated

Jasmin' I'll go find some water

You stay here, OK?

Hail Mahakal

Jasmin

Jasmin?

You can never kill me

What's going on?

Who are you...?

What do you want?

Who could that be so late at night?

Jasmin, what happened?

- Where is your uncle? - Who are you?

There was a terrible storm' Thakur sir

There was a bad accident

I found this child alone in the forest

I saved her from certain death

- Where's Sameer? - I'm sorry, sir

I'm afraid he's dead

His body was washed away in the flood

No...

- Ramu, take care of Jasmin - Yes, sir

Now may I leave, Thakur sir

Baba, you saved Jasmin's life

I want you to look after her

Please, I insist

If this is your wish, then I shall live here

My shadow will follow your child at all times

You're imagining it

No I'm not, it's true

Since Jasmin was found in the forest she's completely changed

I saw it with my own eyes

God knows who she talks to when she's alone

Children play with dolls

But Jasmin buries her dolls in the ground for fun

What's up with you?

You can't believe all this nonsense

You must trust me' brother

Jasmin needs spiritual help

Take her to a priest or wise man

I fear she might be possessed

By an evil spirit

Jasmin' go to bed now

Today you shall die

Brother...!

Brother, open the door! Open the door!

Open the door! She'll kill me

Open the door!

Daughter-in-law! What happened?

Open the door, daughter-in-law!

- Open the door, brother! - Open the door!

She'll kill me! She'll kill me!

Who will kill you! What's going on?

- Open the door! - Open the door!

Daughter-in-law!

What's going on?

Daughter-in-law!

- My child. - Mummy... mummy

I won't let Sahila stay in this cursed house

I'll send her to Bombay

To her granny's place

You're very happy, Thakur sir

Baba' the news is good. Sahila came first in her college exams

That is indeed good news

I'll telegram her today to visit us for the vacation

Granny! Granny! A telegram from uncle!

He wants me to visit them at Chandan village

I'm granny's nephew. Granny is making burgers for me

But why are you wearing this sari?

I'll explain... You see, I'm writing a horror story

The hero of this story turns into a woman at midnight

Idiot!

He's bone idle and does nothing but eat

Granny!

Always making up horror stories

- What rubbish! - Shut up!

Granny, I'm going to stay with uncle

Good. But please take this fool with you too

Or he'll drive me crazy with his stories

I'll go with her

- On one condition - What?

That you do a break dance in my film

I'll give you break dance!

The Witch Queen!

Bandit Queen! Help me!

Have you saved any milk for me?

Or did you give it all to this creature?

I've got the vegetables. I'll take them inside

You're in a hurry, my sweet. How ah out a cup of tea?

Get lost! I'm not your servant!

Why are you so angry? Is the Thakur at home?
