Hindi Movie Junoon Verified -

Unlike typical "hero" roles, Javed Khan is a predator wrapped in poetry. He risks his life, his family, and his social standing to protect Ruth, not out of love, but out of junoon (madness). He says: "Main tumhe chahta hoon... jaise shikaar ko shikari chahta hai." (I want you... like a hunter wants his prey.)

Based on Ruskin Bond’s novel A Flight of Pigeons , the film follows a British girl, Ruth (Nafisa Ali), who is orphaned during the Sepoy Mutiny. She seeks refuge in the haveli of a pathologically obsessed feudal lord, Javed Khan (Shashi Kapoor). He doesn't want to kill her—he wants to possess her. hindi movie junoon
