IMDb profile

Naina is a Hindi horror film released in India in 2005. It stars Urmila Matondkar. It is a remake of the Hong Kong film The Eye. Its release caused controversy in India 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.^{[1] [2] [3]}
