Tulsi Ramsay
From: Avijit Ghosh, December 15, 2018: The Times of India

Director Tulsi Ramsay birthed and nourished Bollywood’s horror industry with films like ‘Do Gaz Zameen Ke Neeche’, ‘Darwaza’, ‘Purana Mandir’ and ‘Veerana’ in the 1970s and ’80s and almost converted the genre into a family brand.

Tulsi was one of the seven Ramsay brothers who combined to handle most departments of a film project. As director, often in tandem with Shyam, he constructed the visual template of what became a standard Ramsay film: flapping bats, screaming underclad women, derelict mansions and eerie graveyards on foggy nights. The movies were technologically tacky. But in less demanding times, the ghoulish tales spooked an entire generation, largely in lowbrow theatres in smaller centres. These films were considered safe box-office propositions that made everyone happy, especially distributors and young men with a yen for fright.
