The story is just an Indian take on A Nightmare On Elm Street with plenty thrown in from a number of the sequels as well as the original movie. Even many of the the musical cues throughout (NOT the song and dance numbers) are almost lifted straight from the Wes Craven movie. The fact that other people are credited with the story and soundtrack is, for me, a bit cheeky and the credits really should just read "from the Wes Craven movie with extra bits thrown in by some folk".
