Bandh Darwaza

aka The Closed Door

Poster of Bandh Darwaza

A desperate aristocratic wife seeks supernatural help to conceive and strikes a bargain with the vampire demon Nevla—agreeing to surrender any daughter born to him. Years later, the daughter Kamya grows obsessed with winning a young man’s love and unwittingly resurrects Nevla, sparking a bloody cycle of seduction and horror. A desperate rescue mission deep within haunted caves culminates in a fiery showdown as the cult’s dark force is challenged and judgment is delivered.
