Naina

Watched Naina over the weekend. The special effects (almost all of them) looked like they were straight out of a Hollywood movie. Despite the spine tingling trailers the shockfactor of the movie would be 3 on a scale of 5. The story was well scripted, except for some small creases which the director ought to have ironed out. Urmila plays a blind girl who has a retinal transplant and ends up getting the eyes of a dead girl who had the eerie ability of seeing death and dead people. The plot was a cross between The Sixth Sense, Minority Report and What Lies Beneath. As in Sixth Sense the girl has an ability to see dead people, whereas her ability to foretell death seemed to be derived from the plot of Minority Report. Also the dead girl guiding Naina(eponymously) to the circumstances behind her tragic end seems to have been inspired from What Lies Beneath. One should see Naina for the technical novelty factor if not for original storyline and stellar performances.
