Veerana: Vengeance of the Vampire (1985)

Starring: Sahila Chaddha, Gulshan Grover, Hemant Birje
Director: Shyam Ramsay, Tulsi Ramsay

Premise:
A young woman is possessed by a spirit which leads men into the jungle to kill them.

My Take:
Like most Bollywood flicks there is a fair amount of music, singing, and dancing. This one also has a lot of special effects. The story really has nothing to do with traditional vampires. It's more spirits from Indian lore. It's a movie definitely unique to the country and far more strange than it appears.

Rating: In the middle
