When it comes to remakes of foreign horror films, critics often point out the lack of creativity of American studios, but one of the most interesting trends is that foreign films are producing remakes of US horror films.

Especially popular in Bollywood cinema, these films often diverge so much from the source material that they end up becoming unique objects. Of all these remakes, none is as entertaining as ‘Mahakaal’, the story of Anita, a university student whose life takes a turn after being attacked in her dreams. Her mysterious attacker - a man with a golden clawed glove - starts killing her friends, leaving her powerless. She soon discovers that her father's relationship with the magical assassin, Shakaal, runs much deeper than she expected. Yes, there are musical numbers.
