No. It is a Russian fantasy horror film, originally titled Viy . It was dubbed in Hindi for the Indian market.
The film blends supernatural horror, dark fantasy, and adventure. Unlike the simpler 1967 Soviet Viy , this version adds a globe-trotting plot, elaborate CGI monsters, and a heroic arc for the protagonist. It became the highest-grossing Russian film of 2014, earning over $30 million worldwide.
The plot follows Gogol as he battles the dark witch Viy, uncovers a conspiracy involving a mysterious "Black Book," and travels between the worlds of the living and the dead. The visual effects, creature design, and grim tone have drawn comparisons to Sleepy Hollow and Pan’s Labyrinth .
