Its a well made movie in horror genre. First half follows a set template of horror movies, while the second half is a bit different. Nusrat has acted well in almost all the roles she has done yet, and it's good to see she is experimenting in non glamourous serious roles as well, and has done a pretty job at it. Overall I think the movie is good, though it is 30 mins too long. Still a good watch.

This movie is not only a suspense horror movie but at the same time it's a movie with a big social message. Nusrat Barucha has shown her finest work here. She has made u feel the emotions through her acting. Yes it was scary at so many places and this is the plus point of this movie tat made u hooked to it till the end.
Watch only with good sound effect in night ...

Nice horror flick with good ending and message. This gives more spine chilling when you watch in night with full sound effects.... The environment, sound and characters opt for the chilling horror sequences.... I was waiting for the original marathi version in 5.1, but ended up watch hindi version in 5.1. The wait is real worthy to watch in 5.1 The only problem is that some of the repeated scenes and little bit predictability.

DONoT Watch at NIGHT
mytempindia19 December 2021
Chhorii is a women centered Bollywood horror movie. Good scary music, some extremely horrible scenes and location of the village make it a good movie to watch. This movie has Illusions, superstition, mystery, and secret story. Only thing is that movie started from a different story and ended in completely different plot. This movie also revolves around misconceptions about feminine gender. Acting of Mita Vasisth is at par. Nusrat is good, if not the best. Overall, a family horror movie to watch at night with 5.1 sound system to feel the fear of the superb horrific background sound.
Interesting take on an old plot!

I'm writing this review as an audience who hasn't watched the original.
Mid way through the film you will realize, the plot is nothing new. It deals with a serious social issue related to women in villages and even cities till date. However, the way the film moves forward makes sure that you are still invested in the film despite knowing what is to come.
The setting of this film is amazing, a house in between tall grasses, perfect setting for a spooky film. But I'll be honest, there are only a few jumpscares thanks to the loud jumpscare music that helps. Once, the back story starts to unravel, the horror dissappears completely. However, the way the back story is revealed is something I really liked. That is what kept invested even after knowing what's coming .
The climax final revelations are shocking . However, the treatment is not up to the mark. You feel that impact missing solely because the last revelations are shown as mere montages and not fully fledged sequences. Had they shown a full sequence, the impact would have been much more hard hitting and emotional sadly that emotion is less , if not missing completely. Being promoted as a horror, there is not much of it.
Nushrat bharucha till date can't convince me that she is 35+. She looks so young in films and here, her role is kind of a challenging one and she's done a good job. Mita vashishth is a show stealer, from her accent to her way of talking impressed me . Rest everyone were good too.
Overall, a film that can definitely be watched its not at all a torture or any sort of thing like that . Watch it for the issue dealt with the film, watch it for performances, don't expect too much of horror or spine chilling moments and yeah, the director could have treated the climax much better.

First half is little bit stretched unnecessarily otherwise it's a good movie to watch. The only negative point about this movie is it's screenplay is slow paced especially in first half, and in the 2nd half it's quite gripping and plot unfold gradually. Nushrat Barucha did a splendid job here and other supporting characters also did their jobs perfectly in this entire movie. I will say, it's absolutely fine to watch it with family and friends. You will like it's 2nd half and ending as well because it have a good social message at the end with justification.
Simply awesome

The dark truth
rehmankhilji12 December 2021
A dark truth which is still in the society shown here, beautifully made, with good horror and it will keep your eyes wide open.
As for those with reviews asking for banning the movie, get a life seriously. The truth is still there and cant be hidden.
Would never thought but one brilliant and strong performance by Nushrratt Bharuccha, she is certainly proved her metal.
Mita Vashisht, acted superbly too and was the key element in the movie.
Dont miss this one.

Worst ever movie
puredentalteam28 November 2021
Its such a waste of 2 hours. Such horrible movie. There s absolutely nothing in the movie except a pregnant lady moving in sugarcane fields with her imagination. I don't seriously understand how can even people produce such kind f movies!!!! Not worth a star.
Great story but a bit slow...

Warning: Spoilers
An extremely conservative and fanatic farming-couple desire to have only boys from their son and his wife, but unfortunately for them, they're blessed with baby-girl each time. They consider this a bad omen for the crop and the well-being of family, because according to these pathetic beings--only boys carry on your genes and the name. Many wives are being sacrificed and so are their unborn--however, the first one has the most horrific story to tell. She conveys this story to another pregnant woman with a baby-girl in her belly--all through hallucinations(what really happened with their first daughter-in-law) and her unborn along with three boys(the farmer's kids).
The movie starts out slow, and till the mid-part, you'd find the story developing really slow. I wouldn't call it a VERY HORROR movie, as there are hardly any scary scenes. Just some loud music effect, and jump scare--which you'll probably miss if watching in a well-lit room.
The pregnant woman doesn't want to sacrifice her unborn baby-girl, and so she fights with hallucinations and farmer's family til she uncovers the real truth and the culprit(murderer son) behind.
The twist is what made me give this movie a score of 8. Without this great twist, I wouldn't have bothered even reviewing the it.
-- Moral of the story: stop killing the unborn baby-girls, villagers often rely on jots his(fortune teller) and kill the unborn baby-girl once they find out her gender. It's Insane. Inhumane. Pathetic. Let's not forget we all came from a womb; a woman's womb--cuz last I checked, males don't have it.

Review By Kamal K
Chhorii is a surprisingly good film. The first three-quarters of Chhorii will be appreciated by horror film fanatics and most of the plot is revealed through some really good cinematography and creative jump scares. And while the final twist took too long to reveal (we knew who Rajbir was by that point), it managed to make the story even more entertaining.
The film also reveals the dead woman's story in a different manner, giving the supernatural being character depth early on. Speaking of which, one of the best parts of Chhorii is its casting and acting.
Each character has a lot of nuance, and the film wouldn't be half as good without such actors. But while the actors did a good job, the scriptwriter and director did their work too well. Chhorii is quite scary and the film keeps us entertained during most of its part as a horror thriller. The scene where Sakshi is lying next to a burnt Suneni is heartbreaking and horrifying. As the film progresses, it slowly becomes an investigation-revealing feature film, which then returns to being a supernatural film.
The awareness of female infanticide is an important message to spread, don't get us wrong. But the last few minutes of the film focuses too much on this message and that manages to be a small plot twist in itself. When Sakshi is talking about motherhood in anger to Bhanno, Kajla and Hemant; any one of them could have knocked her out again and kept her from leaving. Also, there is the minor plot hole where the four ghosts can only haunt a woman who is eight months pregnant, but not the people who got them killed.
Overall, Chhorii is an enjoyable horror film with a good backstory.

Plotholes bigger than Mumbai roads
cooldwijen31 December 2021
A married couple in love with wife heavily pregnant decides to run as husband can't pay the money he borrowed. Run to where you ask.. The place their driver recommends to a village where noone lives.
Although it tries to showcase the ills of female infanticide ot fails in consistent story telling.

Thrilling Different Horror Concept Worth Watching
ayaanbhojani19 December 2021
Jst finished watching it and must say That's how a horror film should be made, Hats off to the director for bringing up such a different horror concept, thr r some loopholes but actually can be ignored because once u start watching the film it completely captures ur mind. The film also gives out a really good message, I rate Chhorii a 7.5/10 stars.
Not seen such a bad movie

A chudail story redone explaining female infaticide.
HotDoggyBoomBooM15 December 2021
The premise and the surrounding were different which is a plus .but some scenes like dragging around the sugarcane field and ghost running here and there was a waste of time. In the end it sounded like a typical chudail movie for revenge but the ghost and its story was scary and sad . So do watch it.
Message wrapped in a horror story
reiya-3272029 November 2021
I was struggling to find a right way to vent my feelings about the movie which no doubt has great acting by Nusrat , Mita they have put their best efforts the background music is good every thing is fine but it feels like director is hell bent on forcing his message down our throat, the locations are apt but the soul is something which is missing .
