Chhorii 2 Review: Spooky Story with a Strong Message
The wait is over — Chhorii 2 is here! Streaming now on Prime Video, this sequel continues Sakshi’s terrifying journey after the events of the first film. With Nushrratt Bharuccha returning and Soha Ali Khan joining the cast, Chhorii 2 promises to blend horror with a strong social message. But does it actually deliver the chills?
Let’s break it down.
š» What’s the Story This Time?
Sakshi (played by Nushrratt Bharuccha) is still trying to escape the dark forces that haunted her in the first movie. But in Chhorii 2, her past catches up with her in a whole new nightmare.
This time, the story takes us into creepy caves and dense sugarcane fields. There’s a terrifying backstory involving an evil king who only wanted sons — and killed daughters with the help of a loyal servant, played by Soha Ali Khan. That alone sets up a very intense and disturbing vibe.
š How Are the Performances?
- Nushrratt Bharuccha does a great job again as Sakshi.
- Soha Ali Khan plays a haunting role, very different from anything she’s done before.
š§ It’s a Horror Movie… But with a Message
While Chhorii 2 is meant to be a horror movie, it spends a lot of time talking about serious issues like:
- Female infanticide
- Blind faith
- Child marriage
These are all very real and important topics. But because the film tries to focus on both horror and social awareness, the scary parts sometimes get pushed to the side. If you’re watching this for jump scares and chills — you might not get as many as you’d expect.
š„ Scary Setting, But Not So Scary Execution
The locations — like underground caves and sugarcane fields — are perfect for a horror film. You feel like something could jump out at any second. But the movie doesn’t really build up the fear. The background music and camera work could have done more to create suspense.
ā What Works:
- Strong acting from both leads
- A meaningful story that highlights social issues
- A unique mix of folklore and horror
ā What Doesn’t Work:
- Not enough real scares
- The second half feels a bit slow
- Feels more like a drama than a horror at times
š Final Verdict:
Chhorii 2 is not your typical horror film. It wants to scare you, but it also wants to make you think. While it doesn’t pack as many spooky moments as the first film, it does raise awareness about some deep-rooted issues still present in our society.
So if you’re looking for a horror movie with meaning — this one’s worth a watch. Just don’t expect to be hiding under your blanket the whole time.
