Chhorii movie review: Muddled with horror clichés, Nushrratt Bharuccha's film strays away from its social intent
FirstpostHorror films are hot potatoes right now for they are everywhere. Because Indian screenwriting isn’t at that mature stage yet, the social sermon has to be encoded into the mesh of either horror-comedy – Stree, Bhoot Police etc – or just horror dramas without so much of the drama. Like Netflix’s Kaali Khuhi, Amazon Prime Video’s Chhorii, wants to be an eye-opening montage of patriarchal horrors but there is little that is spooky or spunky about this film that meanders, aimlessly for the most part, almost like the field it is set in. The film, in fact, gives away its ending right in the middle, and is given to strange, almost enraging screen transitions – blacking out for the sake of retaining obvious reveals for later. Directed by Vishal Furia, Chhorii obviously originates in the fertile landscape of ‘good intent’ but amounts to nothing more than the dry spell Indian horror seems to be going through.
