Chhorii 2 Movie Review:
Chhorii 2 tries to build on the eerie world of the first film, and while it does manage to create some genuinely creepy and atmospheric moments, the storytelling this time feels a bit all over the place. The horror elements are still strong, and there are several visually stunning scenes that really stick with you, but after a while, the slow pace and repetitive sequences start to weigh the film down.
Nushrratt Bharuccha once again proves she’s got serious chops when it comes to horror. She nails the emotional range required for her character – from terror and vulnerability to resilience and action, with complete conviction. You believe her fear, you root for her strength, and you feel her frustration. It’s not easy to carry a horror film, but she does it with full commitment.
The child actor Hardika brings a perfect mix of innocence and dread. Gashmeer Mahajani, playing the inspector, is decent but sadly doesn’t get much to do. The real surprise is Soha Ali Khan as the Daasi; she’s menacing, committed, and nails the Haryanvi accent. Honestly, she steals the show.
Where the movie struggles is with its writing. The plot meanders, circles back on itself too often, and the heavy-handed messaging about superstition and evil practices starts to feel more preachy than impactful. There’s a clear lack of twists or fresh shocks to keep you hooked.
The climax is predictable but lands well thanks to the performances. Still, compared to the tighter and more emotionally grounded Chhorii, this sequel loses its way. Could’ve used a sharper script and tighter editing.
