'Main Aisa Hi Hoon' or 'I Am Sam' - what's the difference? |
After the Ajay Devgan-Esha Deol-Sushmita Sen starrer 'Main Aisa Hi Hoon', whose conceiving genes unarguably lay in 'I Am Sam', we last had Urmila Matondkar-Anuj Sawhney starrer 'Naina', which released on May 20th, very similar to the Japanese horror film 'The Eye'. Put aside seeing the movie, the promos and posters are a clear indication, proving the burden of proof.
'Naina' is about a girl who loses her eyesight and her parents in a freak accident in London. Twenty years later, a corneal implant restores her sight. Thereafter, she starts seeing a new horrifying world unknown to mankind and her normal life is thrown completely out of gear.
The cast and the crew are holding their cards close to their chest. Naturally.
Lead actor of 'Naina', Anuj Sawhney defends, expectedly, "I have read the book 'The Eye'. Few references might be drawn. The basic essence is the same, but the treatment is completely different. I am not playing Bruce Philips. Like Bruce, I take the girl through her journey after the cornea implant, but like Bruce I am not the ghost," he claims. Now that's what we meant when we said that 'change the end'! |
