Naina is a 2005 Indian Hindi-language horror film directed by Shripal Morakhia and starring Urmila Matondkar. The film was premiered in the Marché du Film section of the 2005 Cannes Film Festival.[2][3] The film is a remake of the 2002 Hong Kong-Singaporean horror film The Eye directed by the Pang brothers, with a subplot borrowed from the 2002 Japanese film Dark Water.[4]
Released on 20 May 2005, Naina flopped at the box office, grossing ₹6.94 crore against a ₹5 crore budget.[1] It was also controversial because its depiction of the protagonist seeing ghosts after receiving a corneal transplant was similar to existing fears in India surrounding corneal transplants and it was feared the film would discourage people from donating corneas or seeking corneal transplants.[5][6][7]

Two scenes later, however, it becomes a tacky scene-to-scene reproduction of the Chinese supernatural hit, Jian Gui aka The Eye [...] The entire girl-in-a-raincoat sub-plot is conveniently borrowed from Hideo Nakata's Japanese horror, Honogurai Mizu No Soko Kara, aka Dark Water.
