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.

I, personally was really overwhelmed after the announcement of the 2nd installment of the series, the original was on loop on my screen. This excitement turned into disappointment when I finished watching Chhorii 2. Seriously, they left the climax unfinished, I am still asking my brain that weather the movie is completed or I skipped a bit of it! The actors were good, acted well, the sets were spooky, concept was unique but nothing gave TRUE colors to the film. Lack of proper management of scenes and even time to shoot the film, I guess...

Weak Disappointed Will there be Chhorii 3?

Or, it is the end!

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.

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.

Chhorri (2025) : Movie Review -

Chhorii was a standard remake of a Marathi film that surpassed expectations for its industry. Furia pledged several alterations, yet spoke falsely as Chhorii was merely a simple copy-paste with some quality diminishing quickly. The follow-up isn't precisely a remake, but it's clearly influenced by other films or their concepts. It's high time Furia and Bollywood acknowledge that issues like female infanticide and child marriage are outdated, so kindly refrain from lecturing us on these topics. Additionally, it frustrates me to witness feminism being undermined by female characters in the movie. Mita Vasishta's role accomplished that in the original, while Soha Ali Khan exacerbates it in the follow-up.

Chhorrii 2 begins seven years following the conclusion of Chhorii, with Sakshi (Nushrratt Bharuccha) residing with her daughter, Ishani (Hardika Sharma). Ishani has a unique condition that makes her allergic to sunlight, preventing her from going outside during the day. Daasi Maa (Soha Ali Khan), who possesses unique powers, abducts the girl and requires Ishani's consent to wed her to Pradhan Sahab, an age-old Evil of the village. Sakshi's spouse, whom she departed from six years prior, is the mastermind behind all this and seeks to avenge Ishani's samarpan. Can Sakshi confront the dark forces by herself?

As you might expect, Daasi Maa's character shifts allegiance at the perfect time, which is how we receive our tedious discourse on feminism, equality, and freedom. Child marriage is regarded as a usual practice in this area, and it's foolish to witness such occurrences in 2025. Sakshi can turn into a ghost for some time and can even endure severe injuries. In some way, I wasn't able to truly persuade myself to think that the villages had such impressive architectural designs underneath, and it felt more like a maze that only they could navigate. How??!! The artificiality and exhaustion in Chhorrii are excessive, making it quite irritating, particularly when enduring it for 130 minutes. The script isn't all that terrible, but the scenes tend to be overly extended and lengthy. I pressed the forward button 10 seconds ahead once, twice, thrice, and everything remains unchanged. That's one advantage of OTT releases that you can utilize the fast forward button to complete a two-hour boredom in just one and a half hours, or ideally, in one hour. Chhorrii 2 continued to feel dull and tiresome, even after pressing the FF button at least 10 times every 10 minutes.

Examining Nushrratt Bharuccha's performance, she demonstrates potential, indeed, but lacks growth. Certain lines are delivered poorly, and her expressions often lack impact. However, I liked her in certain moments, particularly during the intense and action-packed scenes. Soha Ali Khan's accent did the job; otherwise, it would have been impossible to redeem this poorly written character for any actor. Hardika is cute and adorable. "Aap ullu bana rahe ho na," she repeats often, and each time it brought a smile to my face. Gashmeer Mahajani was fine, but I truly appreciated the authentic portrayal of his character. The climactic action sequence with him included fight scenes that resemble actual physical confrontations between men. Pallavi Ajay, Saurabh Goyal, Kuldeep Sareen, among others, were adequately fine in their supporting roles.

Chhorrii is a film without songs, and thank goodness for that; otherwise, it would have been even duller. The cinematography was pretty decent, while the editing lacked finesse. The sound design was fine and the art design and production design really looked good there. It's sort of like Tumbbad setup with less context. Vishal Furia's film struggles in the beginning but then catches some momentum in the second half. By the time you reach climax, you find yourself totally invested in this underworld , but then the disappointing and cliched climax ruin the impact. One more bad thing about Chhorrii 2 is that the main villain is still alive and of course, they are planning third part for that. Dear audience, don't let them do it again please.

RATING - 4/10*
