Chhorii Review: The Story

The film begins with Sakshi (Nushrat Bharucha) and Hemant (Saurabh Goyal) 8 months pregnant, who decide to leave the city for a few days to get rid of the goons. The husband and wife go to the village of their driver Kajla (Rajesh Jais), which is 300 km from the city. There are only 4-5 houses amidst sugarcane fields in the entire village. There he meets Bhanno Devi (Mita Vasisht), the wife of the driver. Due to the backward thinking of Bhanno Devi, at first Sakshi keeps distance from her. But then impressed by his affectionate nature, she gives him the status of even her mother. As time passes, Sakshi realizes some strange happenings in that place. Sometimes he sees some children, sometimes he hears a lullaby. As the days pass, Neha starts feeling confused and the situation gets worse. Also Bhanno Devi’s bad behavior surprises him. Is he really just delusional or is the place inhabited by ghosts? The story of the film revolves around a social message.

The theme of the story of Chhorii certainly seems old, but the film has some stages of its own, which make it worth watching. However, by the time the climax approaches, the grip of the film loosens. However, Nushrat Bharucha and Meeta Vashisht do not let the film slip with their performances. For the Hindi audience, the story of Vishal Furia Chhorii has been taken to a village in North India. Due to the tone and dress of the characters, it seems to be a village in Haryana or western Uttar Pradesh. Sakshi (Nushrat Bharucha), about eight months pregnant, runs an NGO in the town. Sakshi’s husband Hemant was assaulted by his men after he could not repay the loan taken from the local Dabang Chandel for business. In order to protect the pregnant wife, Hemant, on the advice of his driver Kajla, agrees to hide in her village, 300 km away, where Chandel’s goons cannot reach.

Chhorri Review and Analysis

The story of Chhorii is of Vishal Furia, while the screenplay and dialogues have been written by Vishal Kapoor. Chhorii’s takeoff is fine and more than half the film is tied, but after Sakshi’s delusional scene comes, the film starts to falter. This part feels stretched and the duration of 2 hours 9 minutes starts feeling a bit long. Barring one or two twists in the climax, there is nothing that remains in the mind even after the film is over.

If we talk about horror, then the house built in the middle of the cane in the village and the maze-like paths increase the curiosity towards the scenes and this sense of unpredictability adds a temper of horror to it. These seemingly simple scenes also help in creating suspense. Sunayini roaming in the house and more horror than the soul of the children has been created through the location and Anshul Dubey’s cinematography in this is praiseworthy. The way he has shown the sunken house amidst the sugarcane fields through the eyes of the camera, he has made even the ordinary scene exciting.

Chhorii Star Performances

In Chhorii, the characters of Nusrat and Mita Vashisht mainly take the film forward and both these actresses have done a great job in their respective characters. After the strange story, Nusrat has once again left the mark of her serious performance. At the same time, Mita Vashisht’s performance makes a special contribution in raising the mysterious image of the girl. Rajesh Jais in the character of Kajla and Saurabh Goyal in the character of Hemant has supported him well. The figures of female feticide and female infanticide at the end of the film give a serious look to the film. Vishal Furia Ki Chhorii may be weak on the horror front, but the film does not bore.

Chhorii Review: Star Performances

Nusrat Bharucha has done a commendable job in the role of 8 months pregnant. Fear, astonishment, perseverance… he has brought all the emotion on his face. At the same time, Mita Vasisht has given her equal support. Although his Haryanvi dialogues are distracting in the beginning, his character has been given so many shades by the director that you slowly get attached to it. Saurabh Goyal, Rajesh Jais and the rest of the cast are good in their characters.

Chhorii Story

The lead artist of the film Nushrat Bharucha also has to prove that girls are not less than ends and if they want, they can also carry the entire weight of the film on their shoulders. Nusrat should also be praised in this sense that she agreed to work in this film. The entire focus is on him in the film. The rest of the characters keep coming and going. She also makes a lot of efforts to bring the gait and gestures of a pregnant girl, but the pleasant pain of eight months of pregnancy, which is seen on the face of the mother, does not appear here. Even while traveling by road of two and a half three hundred kilometers. Nusrat should have seen Ram Gopal Varma’s ‘Bhoot’ before shooting for this film. It can be considered a text book on the expression of heroine in a horror film.

Chhorii Review: Technical Aspects

The most important part of any horror film is its technical part. The sound design of the film has been done by Belon Fonseca and the background score has been taken care of by Ketan Sodha. The film has been very good in this department. While the attempt is not made to intimidate by loud music or screams but has been kept quite mysterious given the hidden message in the film. Anshul Choubey’s cinematography is one of the positive aspects of the film. Some of the scenes are very spectacular. You feel lost along with Sakshi in that scene when Sakshi tries to understand the way through the sugarcane fields by climbing on the roof of the house. Editor Unnikrishna PP could have wrapped up the film a little more. Some scenes are repeated several times, which if cut, could have comfortably shortened the film by 10-15 minutes. The film could have been tightened on the editing table, but here it is lacking.
