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.

I was expecting Naina to be a really good movie after I read the interesting story about a girl in London who lost her eyesight and parents in a car accident. She was raised by her grandmother and when she became a young woman she got an eyes donor. After the operation she started to see strange things like dead people, shadows and bad incidents that are yet to happen. The first half was quite good and relentless but the second half was very slow, boring and depressing when Naina went to India from London to unsolve the mystery. If you liked Urmila's other two horror films Kaun & Bhoot then Naina is probably the film for you. Personally I liked both of them. It is a remake of a Korean film "The Eye" I've not seen it but most people said that The Eye is better and I think that the Hollywood version is due to the end of 2007 but i'm not sure. Overall this film is OK to be watched once and my verdict is 5/10 if the second half was good then I might of given it a 6-7 out of 10 but their is no chance that I will rate it 8-10 out of 10.

Naina somehow reminded me "Crime and Punishment" novel written by Russian author "Fyodor Dostoevsky" but in compare of that unique novel it can be considered as the weak version which tried to change the story path. Considering it as an Indian art work,i admired the artistic features of the movie and also outstanding animation scenes. Naina movie has stunning animations and the music generally inside the movie is attached the the story which makes a good harmony. near end of the movie (30 minutes to the end) you have the feeling that characters of the movie are running from one since to another, also it give the feeling that this movie could be finished in so many better ways.

I watched this and saw SCENE by SCENE as Naina ripped its script from "The Eye" (Jian Gui). From the little girl in the hall, the dead man in the elevator, etc. Creatively speaking, while the acting was good, they did NOT make an effort to reset the story to an Indian perspective. They didn't attempt to reform or wrap it in Indian religious mysticism. They just changed the actors and changed the set-- but kept the script nearly EXACTLY. And then the credits were purposefully little more than unreadable tiny blurred smudges. What made 'The Eye' striking was the fact that the Life/Death focused was rooted in East Asian religious outlook-- it was seeing the supernatural through a different lens. See the FIRST version-- THEN judge.
