10/10
Superb Flick which didn't get its due.

Warning: Spoilers
********CONTAINS SPOILERS********* OK First of all if you watch this movie with a thought that its the copy of the 'The Eye', then please don't watch it. Naina has definitely got some elements from this Hollywood Remake. But the concept in the movie, the accident happened with the village girl Khemi, are quite original and the reasons she is accused for death is quite natural because such superstitions does exist in the villages of India even today.

Naina was never promoted as a Horror movie. It was a supernatural thriller which got great reviews upon its release but couldn't get decent collections to get a commercial successful status. The film had great special effects and sound design.

Urmila Matondkar is absolutely brilliant, Marvellous. I can't say anything more about this superb actress. She is the best we have in Bollywood today for thriller genre. Watch her in the climax when she struggles to get people out from the Train. Her act shakes u off your feet and moves your hand to clap for this efficient lady. I shouldn't say that she should have been nominated for this film.

The film has some problems, but Urmila's acting keeps you on the edge. All in all a wonderful flick.
