Chhorii 2

I really felt that Soha Ali Khan could not fully portray her role. If the casting had been done better and an actress who had full grasp over the regional language and body language had been chosen, it would not feel so gimmicky. Nushrat, the little girl and the returning cast did not disappoint!

But I am a bit miffed by the storyline as I feel it had been halved assed.

Truly the trailer was scarier than the actual movie, so it could have just been segmented as a triller which would be justified.

Thankfully the open ending is gave me hope for a part 3 with solid writing and better casting.

I'm for sure looking forward to the third installment being announced soon.

Part One ends with the death of Rajvir and a family member. The story of Chhori 2 picks up seven years later, continuing at the same location as the first part.

The plot is simple and more dramatic than thrilling. It lacks the excitement of the first movie, and many scenes feel unrealistic or hard to believe. The direction tries to follow the style of the original, but it doesn't quite succeed this time.

The film mainly focuses on the characters played by Nushrratt Bharuccha and Soha Ali Khan, both of whom deliver fair performances. However, the overall execution of the story is not up to the mark.

After watching, viewers are left wondering: Why did Rajvir wait seven years to take revenge? How did the other soul come and help Nushrratt? These unanswered questions weaken the impact of the movie.

In short, Chhori 2 had potential, but it could have been much better with a stronger script and tighter storytelling.

Truely speaking the part 2 was not upto the expectation as part 1. The story was much diluted, even editing could be far better. Acting of all was so so.

As an Endocrinology resident I found a link with my subject. The herbal products given to 'Ratri' caused precocious puberty (vaginal bleed).

It is good to see a reflection of medical science in a movie where maximum make mockery of that. Though people are giving low rating for unnecessary prolongation of scenes those could be edited finely, I give 5/10 appreciating the medical knowledge projected through the story. Hope all my seniors and colleagues will second me.

"Chhorri 2" attempts to recapture the unsettling atmosphere and social commentary of its predecessor, but unfortunately falls significantly short. The film's poor execution and lack of engagement make it a disappointing entry in the horror genre.

The film struggles to deliver a compelling narrative, with a plot that feels convoluted and poorly developed. The attempts at creating suspense and fear are often ineffective, relying on predictable tropes and uninspired scares. The pacing is uneven, with some scenes dragging while others feel rushed, further contributing to the film's lack of engagement.

The performances are underwhelming, with the actors failing to bring life or depth to their characters. The dialogue is often clichéd and unmemorable, hindering the film's ability to connect with the audience on an emotional level.

The film's technical aspects are subpar, with uninspired cinematography and a forgettable soundtrack. The visual effects are often poorly executed, detracting from the overall atmosphere and diminishing the film's intended impact.

Overall, "Chhorri 2" is a badly made and unengaging sequel that fails to live up to the expectations set by its predecessor. Its poor execution, weak performances, and lack of genuine scares make it a film that is best avoided.

Chhorii 2 continues exactly from where things were left off in the 1st part, which neither ended on a cliffhanger nor was there a curiosity or a hint as to how things will turn out. Nonetheless, the sequel maintains the superstitious angle and amps up the supernatural & paranormal quotient. The setting is back at the Village with a bigger yet forgettable cast.

Nushrratt Bharuccha leads with a decent performance alongside Gashmeer Mahajani who has a limited role. Soha Ali Khan was good with the highest screen time but was let down by the writing of her role. Cinematography felt slightly different than usual horror films and the Background Score kept things interesting & engaging. However, subpar CGI, poor dialogues for the Kids, a predictable climax and the lack of horror elements pull the film down sharply. Overall, the sequel felt quite forced & doesn't really add on to the lore of the 1st part. Avoidable!

OVERALL 2.25/10.
