Interesting facts

Mahakaal, also known as Mahakaal: The Monster, is a 1994 Indian Hindi-language horror film directed by Shyam Ramsay and Tulsi Ramsay, known as the Ramsay Brothers. The film borrows numerous elements from the 1984 American film A Nightmare on Elm Street and its sequels, including its antagonist, Shakaal—who, like Elm Street's Freddy Krueger, is a razor-gloved killer who can murder people through their dreams.

Production

Production on Mahakaal began in 1988. The film was shelved before completion after a rival production released its own film derived from A Nightmare on Elm Street before the Ramsays had finished theirs. The competing film, Khooni Murda, was released in 1989. Mahakaal was eventually released theatrically in India on 11 February 1994.
