Kaali Khuhi Review starts with the story of Darshan featuring Satyadeep Misra and Priya featuring Sanjeeda Ali Shaikh who with their daughter Shivangi played by Riva Arora visit an unnamed village in Punjab to check on the ailing mother of Darshan. After reaching the place Priya and Shivangi start feeling something eerie about the place.
However, one day an innocent villager opens the lid and spirits go back to the village, especially a small girl who goes to Darshan’s house on a cycle. The old woman who does not have any idea of the trial that is about to fall on her and her family welcomes the little wet girl in her house assuming that she has lost her way and must be reunited with her parents.
She does not have the slightest idea that the girl is not someone who is a damsel in distress and it is she who needs to be saved. Dadi featuring Leela Samson faints and falls ill when she comes to know the true identity of the spirit.
Priya, despite having a strained relationship with her mother-in-law tags along with her husband and daughter to realise that her husband does not want to leave the house and the spirits residing at the top floor of their home won’t let them stay. The back story and the desires of the spirit is what forms the plot of the movie.
The main obstacle in the narrative is the execution and pace of the story which is very confusing and chaotic at times. The movie progresses very slowly and the plot is completely lost to focus on a balanced narrative which leaves us confused.
Three women in the village are carrying out age-old customs of mourning at the birth of a girl child. This shows that the sadness of the birth of girls was not restricted to men. However, by portraying Satyadeep Misra as the only male who criticises the act is something far from our understanding. The dialogues are spelt out and clear which dispels the viewer’s imagination. Kaali Khuhi is not a scary drama apart from a few mirror reflections and some passing shadows.
The music heightens the scary factor in the otherwise dull movie. The theme of the movie is good but its execution is very poor. We have hereby compiled Kaali Khuhi ratings from various sources which will help you in deciding to watch the film.
