Kaali Khuhi

This aint a horror film, there is nothing scary, absolutely no tension n suspense. The subject of female infanticide n female foeticide which is highly prevalent in my beloved country, especially in the northern regions shud have been dealt seriously rather than trying to make it into a lousy, non scary horror film.

Another Netflix film that is technically brilliant (other recent one is Bulbbul (2020)) with a better sound design than most Indian films but which lacks substance. It crafts a suspenseful story at the cost of putting its viewers to sleep, to whom the impeccable production value or crescendoing background score is not enough. It is hard to keep track or make sense of things in Kaali Khuhi (The Black Well) and by the time you do, it goes off with a whimper. At the end, it reduces itself as an atmospheric suspense show sampling and combining folktales and social evil and hardly has any effect on the viewers. It's a wasted attempt (including the talent) at best with a confusing plot and several unanswered questions. These may be solved in a second watch but Kaali Khuhi is not confident enough to demand a first. Only for serious horror fans. Grade D. TN.

The storyline of this movie is too common, nothing new on this but their acting is good.

We understand Netflix wants to create cinema with a message but they need to understand this "understand your audience" , what could had been a 20 minute short film it was turned into a movie which was utter boring , bad cinematography , bad acting and to top it all a very bad story for the intended message.

This is why people goes into depression . Concept was good but everything else was disgusting
