I just came across these. I figured others here would find them as interesting as I do:

You're welcome!

And the last ones I've found:

EDIT:
I found some info pertaining to this film:

Quote:

Jwala Prasad is to marry the girl of his dreams. On the day of the marriage, she dressed all in red, as is the tradition in India. Just before the wedding she slips off to meet her real lover. When Jwala finds out, be is so enraged at he turns into a monster and kills both the to-be bride and her male friend. The saga does not end here, and this monster continues to terrorize the region, first abducting brides dressed in red just before they the wedding procession stops at a Mandir (temple). When a to-be groom finally confronts and kills the monster, it leaves the body of Jwala Prasad and possesses the body of it's killer. And the terror continues. Years late another male has now killed this creature, and the monster has re-possessed it's body, and it's again on the rampage. The police and men of this region do confront this creature, but find out it is invincible, bullets cannot harm it, nor can physical strength of fully grown men overpower it. The suspense mounts as one by one the brides are killed and no one seems to have a clue, and everybody seems to be suspect, including the village poojari, the Thakur, his son, and several other people. What they do not know is that even if they manage to kill this creature, it will simply re-possess the body of another male, and continue on its gruesome task.

It's apparently one of the most popular Bollywood horror films.

I'm having way too much fun with this. A great deal of these films were made from 1975 - 1988, and are of a genre called "Ramsay", originating from the last name of the brothers that directed such schlock.
This for example,

is a famed Bollywood actress from the '80s, Mandakini, known for her singing and dancing. Her poster depiction doesn't do her justice:
