Nakita, a witch and seductress, kills men by the dozen in the area -
until Shameer (Kulbhushan Kharbanda), brother of the local Thakur
(Vijayendra Ghatge) takes matters into his own hands, pays Nakita a visit,
pretends to fall for her seductive charms, but when she moves in for the
kill, he captures and kills her using the AUM symbol. However, Nakita was
a member of a sect of Satanists, and they want their revenge on Shameer,
and ultimately, they capture him and his niece Jasmin, and while his fate
is left uncertain for now, Jasmin is put under the Satanists' leader
Baba's spell and returned to the Thakur by Baba personally, who is then
employed by the Thakur who's ignorant about Baba's true nature. Soon
enough, Shameer's wife is killed by Jasmin ... Years later: Jasmin (now
played by ... Jasmin) has grown up to be a strange and secretive kind of
girl who likes to stay on her own and take long walks in the woods at
night. At times, she lets her wild (satanic) side come to the fore, but
later she always claims she can't remember those incidents. Sometimes,
too, she picks up strangers, lures them to Nakita's house, has sex with
them and kills them. Eventually, pretty much everybody grows suspicious of
her involvement in the murders, so her cousin Sahila (Sahila Chaddha) and
her boyfriend Hemant (Hemant Birje) follow her and come face to face with
Baba's Satanist circle - and almost fail to make it out alive, but
ultimately succeed in not only surviving the incident but also saving
Shameer from the circle's clutches after years of imprisonment. Shameer,
the Thakur and Henant now decide to put an end to Baba's Satanic circle
once and for all, and in a big battle in which the Thakur dies a hero's
death, our heroes manage to kill Baba, destroy Nakita's soul and put an
end to Jasmin's possession in pretty much one go. A wonderful
mix of Indian trash horror, featuring cheap monster makeup and effects,
sloppily done martial arts interludes, of course your typical song and
dance routines, and a wonderfully formulaic storyline - in other words, a
little film to easily fall in love with ... provided you like your horrors
trashy that is.
