Naina

not much into reading a movie rather be able to watch

I am a big fan of asian and hindi horror. The Pang brothers created one of the scariest series to come out of asian cinema, (well the first three, childs eye u can use your own speculation on) The american remake with Jessica Alba was of the better attempts in recent years and had some of the scarier shadow people. Naina was one of my personal favorites, it does have scene for scene shots in it but brings Indian culture into it and the lead girl could rival either the lead from the pangs brothers film or jessica alba as best looking of the three.

Since the orginal Hong Kong horror movie The Eye is one of my favorites, and I also watch a lot of Hindi cinema when I'm not watching asian horror, I was very curious about how Naina would stack up in both genres: surprisingly well, actually.The plot is almost identical in both films--a young woman receives a corneal tranplant and develops the ability to see dead people--but the big difference is in how that story is told. Naina is not particularly horrific (although there are some nice moments); it's a mishmash of romance, a little broad comedy, clinical gore, and some low-grade thrills.If you're looking for real scares, the Pang brothers' version is much better. However, this remake is vastly superior in exploring the more human elements; Naina's ambivalence about suddenly being able to see is much more nuanced in this version, as is the despair and loneliness of the young woman who originally posessed the eyes that see too much.Independent of comparisons to the source material, Naina is not flawless entertainment--the end kind of drags on and Urmila Matondkar spends a lot of the film gasping theatrically--but it was a nice way to spend a rainy Sunday afternoon.And if you don't want to watch either the Hong Kong Eye or Indian Naina, Hollywood is soon releasing yet another remake staring Jessia Alba and Parker Posey. Oh boy...

Naina loses her sight as a child and is cared for by her grandmother. As a young adult, she undergoes a cornea transplant, and 18 minutes into the film she sees dead people, a side effect of transplants. She discovers who gave her the eyes in London and it happens to be from a small village in India, a nation which has a shortage of corneas to transplant for their people.This was a made for TV film and has the word "intermission" appear half way through. I was bored. English subtitles.

This film starts out as a straight out re-make or re-imagining of THE EYE. In the second act of the film you see parts of DARK WATER right down to the rain slicker. In act three you're in THE GRUDGE territory. It doesn't work as a horror film because if you've seen the other three movies you know what's coming. If you haven't seen the originals, this is a pale imitation despite the high production values. The fact that every body is speaking Hindu in England gives the whole thing a strange alternate-universe feel that was probably not intentional.

This film to me was a facinating "remake" of sorts of "The Eye" Where as "The Eye" was a horror movie, "Naina" is more of a twisted Disney land.It is bright and colorful, with a creepy undercurrent. The effects are top notch, and not much in the gore departmant. It is strange to hear the Hindu language and English mixed. It just adds to the other worldy feel. Comes with subtitles.

Movie was poorly executed. Story was intriguing but it was far too unbelievable.

A woman who has been blind from a young age undergoes a cornea transplant in an attempt to restore her sight. Everything goes as planned and the woman can now see again, but the things she starts seeing aren't very pleasant, or original. This is an almost shot for shot "remake" of the Pang Brothers The EYE, with a little more color and a lot less scares. If you speak Hindi then this may be your thing, otherwise see the far superior Gin gwai - The Eye

This film is in Hindi language with some English and english subtitles.Plot. Naina loses her sight aged 5. Twenty years later gets a cornea transplant. She starts seeing things like dead people.This film starts off in London, goes to India then back to London as Naina needs to learn the truth about where the eyes come from. I thought this was a passable horror film. It has many similarities to the asia film  The Eye Trilogy [DVD ] but it's handled a bit differently. There's some good effects and while it's low on scares it's ok even if it is a long film. It felt very PG13 even tho the box says it's unrated, but the lack of blood and gore was probably unneccessary for this presentation.Extras nil, just trailers. USA Release but plays Region zero. The Eye Trilogy [DVD

A wonderful, very well made movie. Not very terrifying. Can be watched with family. Well directed. Most sets are real, not computer animations. Based on a corneal transplant carrying special vision powers of the donor. Quite interesting.No songs to bore you.Urmila stole the show

Product is new.movie is good.dvd box looks pretty.love it.

Okay movie
