Reviews

silvan-desouza In 1980's Mahesh Bhatt made mostly films with good subjects like Arth,Naam.etc but after 90s he started making commercial films like Dil Hai Ki Maanta Nahin(1991) Junoon was his 2nd film with Rahul Roy after RR's debut in Aashiqui which was a big hit. The film also starred his daughter Pooja Bhatt and Avinash Wadhavan. The film is based on Oscar winning 1981 film An American Werewolf in London. It starts off well, Rahul Roy and his friend go to a jungle for hunting when a tiger attacks him, the filmmaker adds mythology too. The film also has a love story of Pooja Bhatt and Avinash Wadhavan which is typical but well woven The twist when Rahul Roy changes forms is well handled and keeps you glued till the end.Direction is good Music is superb, the songs are melidious, Mahesh Bhatt and NS mostly gave hit songs, this time they roped in Vipin Sachdeva for most songs.Rahul Roy does a good job, he is quite decent in a complex role though with many rough edges Pooja Bhatt is decent in her role which is quite similar to her previous works, Avinash wadhavan is adequate Bhatt regulars like Avtar Gill make their presence felt Homi Wadia, Mushtaque Khan are good,Rakesh Bedi provides some fun moments

dialrahul It's a windy night and it's a creepy forest. And the ghost of a man eating tiger awaits them.Loosely but efficiently adapted from American Werewolf in London. Junoon boasts of good production values and a strong cast for a movie of the early 90's.Vishesh Films usually deliver films of good quality and with Mahesh Bhatt at the helm of Junoon, it turns out to be a very good flick.The pace and rhythm in the second half are relentless and it certainly ranks as one of the best horror movies that Bollywood has churned out.The special effects are noteworthy for a Hindi film of that period. It is one of the first Indian venture to hire a crew of well known foreign technicians and make-up artists for the special effects and these still look good for today's standards. They shot a lot of the scenes that needed special effects at Pinewood Studios, London.Rahul Roy's first transformation into a tiger still looks scary.This easily ranks as Roy's best career best performance. You can see he whole heartedly digs his teeth into the role. He looks handsome, mysterious and scary and seems to have put his heart into the performance.Amongst the rest of the cast, Tom Alter, Homi Wadia and Mushtaq Khan are effective.The film has a couple of good songs from duo Nadeem-Shravan. The background music score by Viju Shah is another plus point of the film.Altogether, it makes a very good watch. Gripping, adventurous and scary. Recommended.

Anupam Shrivastava It is one of my favorite Horror movies of all time. It was inspired by a Hollywood movie "An American werewolf in London" but the writer of this film added extra thriller and horror and made the story better than the original one. The music of the movie is excellent and the background scene during beginning credits is awesome. I saw this movie when I was just 6-7 years old and then I suffered from insomnia because I thought that I will be transformed into a tiger too in midnight. ha ha. The story is about a college student named Vikram who went for hunting along with his friend Varun in full moon night and got attacked by a cursed tiger and then Vikram became cursed because he killed the beast and transformed into the same in next full moon night.

yhoque82 Horror movies in the early 90s were typically Ramsay Brothers low budget fares starring B list actors. Junoon was the rare exception, produced by the Mukesh Bhat and with a quite strong cast, including the then rising young stars of Bollywood, Rahul Roy and Puja Bhat. The story was pretty good too, with a quite original take on the werewolf myth, only with tigers. Rahul Roy plays a spoilt rich brat, who is attacked by a cursed tiger during a nocturnal hunting expedition. The next full moon, he himself turns into a tiger and must hunt for prey. The rest of the story is his wife (Puja Bhat) and her ex boyfriend racing against time to stop him. Not really that scary, but the original story and very good special effects, considering the times make this the best Indian horror movie of the 90s, and one of the better ones of all time. Recommended.
