[TOMT][MOVIE] Looking for a fantasy movie with a magical book, demon professor, mysterious island, grandfather, and dream ending

I'm looking for a live-action fantasy movie that I watched on Indian TV (possibly Goldmines or Rishtey Cineplex) in 2025. It was probably a Hindi dubbed movie. The actors looked Indian or South Indian.

Here is everything I remember:

  • The hero is a teenage boy (around 17–19 years old).
  • He lives with his father, who sometimes drinks alcohol.
  • One day he goes with his uncle (or someone he calls uncle) into a forest with ancient ruins.
  • His uncle gets busy talking on the phone.
  • The boy finds an ancient magical book in the ruins.
  • After reading the book, that night a demon appears in his bedroom and tells him about his ancient bloodline.
  • He tells everything to his older sister.
  • They meet a professor who helps them understand the book.
  • The professor takes the hero, his sister, and another young man by boat to a mysterious island.
  • The professor later disappears.
  • The professor is actually a demon in disguise.
  • Sometimes the demon wears grey armor and hides his face.
  • The demon can see short visions of the future, which helps him avoid being killed.
  • On the island there is only jungle, a small hut, and some wooden/rope structures.
  • The people on the island cannot escape because of some magical barrier or curse.
  • The hero's grandfather disappeared on that island about 35–45 years ago.
  • The grandfather recognizes the hero by an amulet around his neck.
  • There is a young magical woman called "Guruma" (or a similar name).
  • She has a son who looks exactly like the hero.
  • Long ago the hero's ancestors destroyed Guruma's family.
  • The demon saved Guruma in the past and now wants revenge on the hero's family.
  • Later Guruma protects the hero from the demon.
  • The grandfather dies.
  • The hero escapes from the island.
  • Suddenly he wakes up and realizes everything was only a dream.
  • But after waking up, his father gives him the exact same magical book.
  • The same events begin happening in real life.

I have searched everywhere but cannot find this movie. It is NOT Drona, Aayirathil Oruvan, Arundhati, Anaganaga O Dheerudu, or Munjya.

Does anyone know this movie?

Out of crypt and alive for one night

Around the 80s, may have been made for television. Man's gf is killed in car wreck while he is away. He gets locked in when he visits, hears noise, breaks open crypt. She is alive and Intact, says they have been given one night. He doesn't believe and tries to get her to try to escape. The morning comes, she is dead again, he is struck by lightning.

Doesnt sound very much like horror, but is suspenseful.

[TOMT][Anime clip with music] It was about ten seconds long, it featured two humanoid figures, standing at about arms-length from each other, facing each other. One was android like and it transformed into a wolf or werewolf while somebody was exhaling grey (cigarette?) smoke.

It was part of a "gifs with sound" (or something similar) compilation I've watched maybe 5 years ago on YouTube.

It featured 10 seconds from "FUNCTION" by "6 SENZ".

(from about 00:00:14 to 00:00:24)

The lighting was dusky with blue, grey and black colours dominating the color palette.

Prison Break and Audio Tape Proving Innocence

So, here’s a strange one. Can anyone help me find this movie I watched late one night in the 90s (it seemed to have been made in the 90s and was probably a TV movie).

The protagonist was a guy, I think his profession had something to do with electronics.

Anyway, a man and a woman frame him (I think the guy was his best friend, I can’t remember his connection to the woman).

The bit I can clearly remember was the end. He used his electronics skills to break out of prison. There was some sort of electronic motor which opened and closed his cell door and he had rigged something to that.

I don’t know how he got out of the prison itself, but he managed and ended up at the house of the man and woman. I think they received a call informing them that he had broken out and to be careful (but could be wrong on that detail). He then recorded them with a tape recorder.

The man was arrested, but he had a tape recording of the other two admitting they had framed him. All three of them end up in a police station and the detective plays the tape. The man and woman claim that it is obviously fake and edited together, but the detective just keeps rewinding it and playing it over and over (checking for edits?). The woman breaks down in tears, knowing she has been caught.

[TOMT][MOVIE] Probaby a European drama. Rural area, a small village shopkeeper leases some land to the protagonist but later he sues him for erecting a fence on said property.

Release date: Probably 1990-2017.

Country of origin: Unknown. Predominantly Caucasian actors.

Genre: Probably drama.


It's set in a rural environment, in and around a small village.

The main character is a middle-aged man. He tries to earn some extra money by teaching the neighbor's kids how to use a bow and arrow, but the kids refuse, saying that nowadays "everybody uses Kalashnikovs".

The village shopkeeper leases some land to the main character.

The shopkeeper falls in love with the protagonist's wife.

Out of envy and anger, the shopkeeper finds a bogus reason to sue the main character. He claims that the protagonist fenced off a well without his permission on the land he rented to him.

The defendant claims that he did it because otherwise the droppings of his grazing flock of sheep would pollute the well.

A scene from the trial:

A friend of the defendant, who was not called as a witness, appears at the trial and approaches the judge:

The judge asks: What are you doing here?

The guy says: Well, all my friends are here, with whom I play cards, so I thought I'll come too!

The judge: Okay, since you are here, you might as well testify.

The guy then says that before the trial the shopkeeper had thanked the defendant for building the fence because the sheep manure actually fertilizes his land and increases its value, and because of this testimony, the shopkeeper loses the case.

[TOMT][MOVIE] A man who is about to take a vacation with his gf or wife and some friends pretends that his passport got taken away in the airport's bathroom and makes a suggestion that the others should go ahead without him. Once they do, he buys a ticket to a Spanish-speaking country.

Release date: 1995-2016.

Country of origin: Unknown, the majority of the actors were Caucasian.

Genre: Romance, comedy.


He might have deliberately bloodied his face in the airport bathroom to make his story about getting robbed more believable. He promises to join the others in a few days, once he gets a new passport.

In the Spanish-speaking country he stumbles upon a Spanish language school for foreigners and he notices a female teacher there with whom he falls in love. They become lovers.

Scene A:

The female teacher removes a piece of toilet paper that got stuck to the guy's zipper.

Scene B:

The guy has trouble performing in bed and the woman's response is to instill some type of hot sauce into the man's rectum.

While in the woman's apartment the man notices some stickers in Spanish and when he asks about them she brushes it off. Later it's revealed that those are some kind of warning notices from a bank that is about to foreclose the property.

A recurring motif is the man's girlfriend or wife calling him on the phone, asking when he'll arrive to their original destination but he keeps coming up with excuses.

Can you identify this South Indian horror movie (Hindi dubbed)?

"Please help a South Indian horror movie (Hindi dubbed). I watched it on TV around 5 years

Story: A poor village girl loves her parents very much and celebrates a special occasion (birthday/anniversary) with them. Later, her friend forces her to attend a party at a villa/bungalow. At the party, some bad guys mix drugs in her drink. She becomes unconscious, is taken to a room, and later some criminals kill her and secretly bury her. Her parents later learn about her death through a newspaper.

After death, the girl becomes a ghost. She wears the same simple white/brown dress she was wearing when she died. She does not harm innocent people but takes revenge on the criminals one by one.

A man (hero) gets stuck in a village at night when his white car gets punctured and has fuel problems. He stays near a haunted bungalow/house connected to the ghost. There is also a funny mechanic character in the village. At one point, the hero buys petrol in a bottle from a small shop, but strange paranormal things happen and the petrol leaks out by itself. At night, the hero sees villagers doing some kind of ritual/procession and asks people about it.

The ghost mostly scares the hero but does not try to kill him. The criminals responsible for her death start dying one by one, possibly in a forest/jungle area.

In the climax, the ghost sits in the hero’s car and causes an accident. The hero and his wife survive, but their 5–6-year-old daughter dies. While the parents cry over their daughter’s body, the daughter’s spirit comes out and happily walks away holding the ghost girl’s hand. The ghost and the little girl walk away together while the parents are left crying.

Does anyone know the name of this movie?"
