Not to be confused with the 2008 Bengali film Mahakaal of the same name

Mahakaal is a 1994 Hindi language Indian horror film directed by Shyam Ramsey and Tulsi Ramey and produced by Gangu Ramsey and Chander Ramsey, the film was highly notorious among the horror movie community for being a huge rip-off of A Nightmare On Elm Street.

Plot
A vengeful ghost with a bladed glove begins to haunt Anita first in her dreams and then in reality. Just as her near and dear ones turn into innocent victims, she decides to deal with the ghost with her boyfriend's help.

Why It's a Monstrosity

 * 1) The plot of the film is very uninspired as it's basically an Indian rip-off of A Nightmare On Elm Street.
 * 2) Like how Superman III hired Richard Pryor as a comic relief, who in their right minds decided to hire Johnny Lever as a hotel manager in the film?! Granted that most Indian films do indeed hire comedians in non-horror films as comic reliefs but still.
 * 3) The evil magician, named Shaakar, is a huge rip-off of Freddy Krueger, as he has a bladed glove and a burnt face just like Freddy, and also dies in a fire before being rebirth much like Freddy, talk about unoriginality!
 * 4) Some of the songs aren't that good, such as "Chal Chal Meri Jaan Chal Zara", which is quite out of place even for an Indian horror film.
 * 5) There are scenes that rip-off A Nightmare On Elm Street such as the Bathtub scene and glen's death as he is getting sucked in his bed By freddy.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Despite most of the songs being terrible, some are quite decent, such as "Janejaan Bahon Mein Aaja".
 * 2) While somewhat out of place since this is a horror film, Johnny Lever's character is admittedly pretty funny.
 * 3) Shaakar is a good villain, despite being a rip-off of Freddy Krueger.

Trivia

 * 1) Unlike Night Killer which is another  A Nightmare On Elm Street Clone, this film has some good kills.
