Bandh Darwaza is a 1990 Bollywood horror movie starring Kunika, Manjeet Kullar, Aruna Irani, Ajay Agarwal and the Afghani actor Hashmat Khan.

The film begins with an ominous shot of a coffin opening up to reveal a cloaked figure with blood stained eyes and sharp fangs - a bloodthirsty vampire by the name of Neola who lives with his disciples in the ruins of the dreaded area known as Kali Pahari. Neola prowls the nights in search of victims to feed his insatiable bloodlust. Meanwhile we are shown that the nearby locality's Thakur (prince) is desperate for an heir to his estate which his pretty wife seems unable to deliver for him. In desperation his wife turns to an evil servant Aruna Irani who has connections with Neola's worshippers and is in fact one of his most ardent worshippers herself. Aruna swears to the wife that she will conceive once she visits Neola's ruins at the Kali Pahari but the condition is that if the wife bears a son she may keep it but if it's a daughter than the child must be turned over to Neola as his own property. The daughter is duly born (after Neola seduces the Thakur's wife) and Aruna reminds a blissfully happy mother that its time to hand over the tot to its rightful owner Neola. The mother refuses to comply upon which she has to face the wrath of an incensed Neola who orders the wife to be poisoned and for the girl child to be handed over to him at his ruins. As Aruna makes off with the child having murdered the mother the Thakur follows her back to Neola's ruins to confront the monstrous creature face to face. After a struggle he manages to vanquish the blood thirsty Neola by stabbing him in the heart but as he dies Neola swears to take his revenge in the most horrible manner.

Later on we are shown that the Thakur has not remarried but is the proud father of a rather wayward daughter Kamia who has a rather serious crush on a college mate by the name of Kumar. Unfortunately for Kamia, Kumar has eyes only for Sapna and in her frustration at being unable to seduce Kumar despite considerable brazen efforts she turns to black magic for help inspiration. She is introduced to the dark world of black magic and voodoo through the disciples of the dead Neola who is resurrected from his slumber by his worshippers to continue his reign of terror. Neola's priority other than drinking bucket loads of fresh blood is to set the record straight with the Thakur's daughter Kamia who was promised to him in the deal that her mother made with him. Kamia is turned into Neola's main disciple cum love slave and it is her duty thereafter to find her master fresh victims for him to satisfy his vile lust. Now it is up to Kumar and Sapna along with the Thakur to wrest Kamia away from the clutches of the monstrous Neola and destroy the beast once and for all before it's too late. This time however it takes more than just a dagger to vanquish the ghastly Neola.
