This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

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.

Okay, the Urmla Matondkar starer "NAINA" (directed by Ram Gopal Verma)is VERY similar to an Asian movie, entitled "THE EYE"...which, when is translated in Hindi, means "NAINA"...Even the tag line is somewhat similar...and the story is EXACTLY the same! If you've seen THE EYE, don't bother NAINA...its the same...really, no difference.Surprisingly, even the actress in the horror THE EYE, is looks and make-up wise very similar to Urmila Matondkar. Even though as usual, Urmila's acting is excellent (you should see BHOOT for appreciating her acting), the movie isn't...3/10 stars for this flick...to bad Ramu...you're not getting away this time!

No matter how much the Indian viewers/media try to hype "Bollywood", Naina proves that Bollywood is not capable for producing original ideas. I would highly recommend watching the original HK flick called Jian gui (aka "The Eye") rather that watching a "copied and pasted" laughable Indian version. Naina proves that Bollywood not only "frame to frame" copies foreign films but does a terrible job doing it! The producers did not even have a decency to change the name of the movie!The plot, framing and in fact the lines are identical. When will the Indian producers realize that they cannot get away with crime. I am surprised that no one has sued the filmmakers for such a blatant copyright infringement. The performance of Urmila is laughable and the FX are very amateurish!P

an interesting story but having curse of not matured acting by Urmila...but indeed a admirable and brave attempt to change the track of Indian movies.Before intermission movie is all about scary and spooky visions that are seen by actress, which were because of her new eyes that she got after her operations..but these scenes are so unmanaged that viewer doubts over there relevance but after the interval when director connect all them in a quaint story it pleases to see such a stupendous attempt to set a new track of Indian horror movies.Instead of horrifying its viewer by spooky faces as it is aimed by many of horror film director,in Naina Director has tried to convey that ghosts really exists .Interestingly no where he has shown that they are harmful instead they are just a normal creature as us humans.The reason why they exists is given through a sermon by a religious Hindu guru that if a creature dies with his uncompleted wishes it turns him into a ghost and he dies at the same place and at the same time again and again.Seems bizarre but I think not that much gimmicky.In the end a tremendous attempt to set a track for Hindi movies.
