Comic cover. A large black glove with claws holds a skull-like sculpture in its palm. A shadowy clawed man stands atop the skull. Title "MAHAKAAL"

Cover for a comic adaptation of "Mahakaal", the Indian/Bollywood remake of "A Nightmare on Elm Street". There are subtle differences between this the Wes Craven Classic. For one, the "Freddy" is a demon of death, not a child molester reborn as a dream monster. He also has a mullet, and doesn't talk a lot. Oh, and the movie is about 2.5 hours long, has several extended musical numbers, and a main supporting character has a bit where he impersonates Michael Jackson for a lengthy period of time, plus other "comedic" (?) choices.

New comic cover: Mahakaal

Holy shit, those are real fucking cobras that the actor was inches away from. Either they did a way better job of hiding the barriers than most Hollywood films or, the sadly more likely scenario, those cobras had their mouths sealed in some way. #Mahakaal

My reaction to the dream demon releasing a bunch of snakes out of a wall was probably not supposed to be "They're so cute!" but...THEY'RE SO CUUUUTE! #Mahakaal

And then two women are almost gang raped so that the comic relief can rescue them by imitating an Amitabh Bachchan character I am not familiar with so the joke goes over my head.

Again, tonal whiplash of the likes Western rip-offs of better movies cannot even fathom. #Mahakaal

Wild how this film blatantly rips off the first Elm Street:

Seema's murder is blamed on her boyfriend *and* Anita falls asleep in class the next day & sees Seema's plastic-wrapped corpse dragged down the hall by an invisible force.

Anita even burns her arm...on a freezer coil.
#Mahakaal

The floor full of Freddy gloves coming out to attack poor doomed Seema is a great visual, even if they clearly didn't have enough hands to fill all the gloves so a couple are just...sitting there.

I had a cool coworker once named Seema, so I feel even worse for her. #Mahakaal

Oh God. The comic relief has a mysterious doppelganger played by the same actor who is even creepier and more obnoxiously unfunny.

At least the friend they get caught spying on beats the shit out of them both for comedic effect. #Mahakaal

Every friend group needs 3 couples and then one comic relief guy who watches them frolicking from a tree while he inflates beach balls in a truly obscene manner. #Mahakaal

We get too hung up on abrupt tone shifts in Western cinema.

Meanwhile, in #Mahakaal a main character suffered a dream attack by the Freddy knockoff, was almost sexually assaulted by a gang before her friends came to her rescue, & now she is taking part in a musical number about going for a picnic.

"Reform yourselves or you will be rusticated from this college!"

So this is one of those subtitle translations where they got way too literal with it, huh? Because I don't even know what "rusticated" means. #Mahakaal

Close-up of a woman's ample breasts in a red sleeveless shirt, with the subtitle: "It was a student's duty to study every subject there."

This movie is hilariously horny and I love it. This shot, showing a horny student's POV zooming in on his crush's chest while the professor talks about "[studying] every subject there" is up there with "crazy about cannons" in the dub of GODZILLA: TOKYO SOS for "wink, wink" boob jokes. #Mahakaal

OK, a love song musical number starting with the guy driving up to a romantic spot with the girl LYING ON THE HOOD OF HIS CAR the whole time is a new one on me.

Was she on the hood the whole way there?! #Mahakaal

Man, the Ramsay Brothers really love getting meta.

Here, a dude who is trying to be Michael Jackson struts out next to a poster of Jackson, while "Thriller" plays, and then looks right at the camera while telling someone the Ramsay Brothers just offered him a role in their film. #Mahakaal
