Junoon is a horror movie released in 1992, directed by Mahesh Bhatt. Compared with other horror movies this concept is a little unique. A tiger's soul and its curse is the main story line. In this movie the mysterious feel in the story dominates fear. The director was inspired by the Hollywood movie An American Werewolf in London.
Dr Nita (Pooja Bhatt) is of a marriageable age. Her parents want a wealthy person as their son-in-law. But Nita is in love with upcoming singer Ravi (Avinash Wadhawan) who is not a wealthy man.
A seriously injured person Vikram (Rahul Roy) is admitted in Nita's hospital, who was injured by a tiger which kills his friend. Nita makes helps him recover. He starts liking her. But the tiger's curse transforms him into a tiger every full-moon.
He visits Nita's home and convinces her parents to let him marry her, breaking the relationship between Nita and Ravi. On the day of his marriage with Nita he transforms into a tiger and kills a woman. After that day, every night he continues to do the same thing.
One day Nita finds out her husband is not an ordinary man. She approaches a priest (Tom Alter) and to understand the mystery and find a solution for the problem. To kill Vikram they require a special dagger. If they kill him in any other way the curse transfers to them. After facing many problems from Vikram, Nita and Ravi find the dagger in a cave and kill Vikram.
Mahesh Bhatt has followed his own style as always. Pooja Bhatt gave a good performance and looked attractive. Rahul Roy was impressive. The other characters don't have a chance to perform. The director has got a good back ground score by Shravan Rathod.
