Woh is an Hindi language Indian television horror-thriller series which aired on Zee TV in 1998. The series starred Indian film director Ashutosh Gowarikar in an important role. The series is a loose adaptation of Stephen King's 1986 novel It and is the second adaptation of the book following the 1990 ABC miniseries of the same name albeit with many changes made to the original story including having it all take place in modern-day India as opposed to both the present and 1950s America, "It" being an evil spirit instead of a monster that awakens every 30 years and scrapping the concept of the Macroverse altogether.
