Chhorii 2

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.

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.

Whenever discussions arise regarding age-old malpractices or superstitions, the oppressive patriarchy and the involvement of men are often put to the front, and rightly so. The power-hungry and insecure mentalities of males frequently serve as the underlying causes of majority of these issues.

However, we tend to overlook the contributions of women, who may play a role, if not an equal one, in perpetuating these problems. I appreciate how "Chhori 2" highlights this often-ignored aspect, illustrating ways in which women can and unfortunately do demean and malign one another.

While I found the metaphor-laden storytelling engaging, my admiration does not extend much further, as the remainder of the movie is a disheveleand incoherent experience.

Horror tropes employed are clichéd and though the cinematography attempts to be inventive couple of times, it largely comes off generic. The characters are one-dimensional too, with only Soha Ali Khan's portrayal of "Dasi Ma" offering some degree of significance and depth.

I was most unimpressed by the climax; it seemed to have aimed for a narrative twist very reminiscent of 'Hastar' from Tumbbad, but ultimately falls short of achieving the desired aftereffect and this ineffectiveness is compounded by a seemingly desperate effort to set up a third installment in the series, making it clear that the 'ending' wasn't really the 'end'.

Why can't we write one good horror script, man? Chorii 2 feels like it was written in a group chat at 2AM by people who've never seen a horror movie. The script is so painfully bad, even the ghosts look like they're dying of secondhand embarrassment. It's not scary, it's not spooky-it's just sad. The plot crawls slower than your Wi-Fi on a bad day, and the scares? About as effective as a damp cracker. Unless Bollywood starts investing in actual writers instead of recycling WhatsApp forwards into screenplays, this is the kind of trash we're stuck with. Watch at your own risk... or better, don't.

"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.
