A Horror Film So Scary, Even the Horror Ran Away.

A Horror Film So Scary, Even the Horror Ran Away : My quick take on movie “Chorii 2” (Amazon prime)

Spoiler Alert: The movie is supposed to be a horror thriller. But somewhere between ghostly gyaan and sugarcane sermons, it quietly tiptoes into suspense territory — without telling you. You keep waiting for horror, like a ghost waiting for closure. Yaar, आप horror को ढूँढते रह जाओगे, और suspense में उलझते रह जाओगे.

Let’s be honest — Chhorii 2 is the cinematic equivalent of an Eno without fizz. All buildup, no bubble. The first film was a remake of the Marathi cult horror Lapachhapi — a film that proved Marathi writers are the Ram Gopal Varmas of rooted horror (the Raat era RGV, not the RGV ki Aag version). It worked because it had heart, atmosphere, and spine. This one, sadly, has only fog machines and failed jump scares.

Nushrratt Bharuccha gives it her all, looking convincingly terrified — possibly because she read the script. Meanwhile, the rest of the film meanders like a moral science class after lunch break.

Let’s talk jump scares: None. Zero. Nada. Instead, you may end up jumping off your seat just to find the remote and check if there’s a power cut on the scriptwriter’s imagination. The film does not glue you to your seat… unless you sat on Fevicol by mistake.

And the VFX? Well, it looks like it was outsourced to the same people who blessed us with Adipurush’s animated atrocities. At one point, I think I saw a ghost that resembled a rejected Snapchat filter.

But wait — the scariest part of the film isn’t any ghost or demon. It’s the ending. Just when you think the torture is over, it drops a spine-chilling twist:

“पिक्चर अभी बाकी है भाई…”

That’s right — brace yourself for Chhorii 3.

Did that not scare you? I screamed — but only when I realized there might be a Chhorii 3. Because honestly, it terrified me more than anything else in this film.

Overall Chhorii 2 is like biting into a mirchi bhajji and finding only soggy besan inside — a horror film that forgot to be scary, thrilling, or even mildly coherent. Watch it only if you’re compiling a list of sequels that should never have been greenlit. Or if you’re auditioning for Chhorii 3 as the next ghost — because clearly, the script needs new souls.
