Junoon (transl. Obsession)[1] is a 1992 Indian Hindi-language fantasy horror film directed by Mahesh Bhatt. It stars Pooja Bhatt and Rahul Roy[2] as a young man who is cursed to become a tiger every full moon night. Junoon was reportedly inspired by the 1981 film An American Werewolf in London.[1][3]
Junoon makes use of morphing, a special effect in which an image changes (or morphs) into another, to transform a human face into a tiger and back from a tiger to a human. The film was successful at the box office and received favorable reviews.
