Chhorii 2 Movie Review

Chhorii 2 Movie Review: A Frighteningly Bad Sequel With Zero Logic & Zero Scares

Cast: Nushrratt Bharuccha, Soha Ali Khan
Director: Vishal Furia
Rating: ⭐⭐✩✩✩ (1.5/5)

Script Analysis:

Chhorii 2 is what happens when a genuinely impactful original film is stretched into a sequel with no story, no logic, and no spine. Set seven years after the events of Chhorii, this installment tries to follow Sakshi and her daughter Ishaani—who now suffers from a so-called curse due to being born in a village that kills baby girls.

The plot unravels within 10 minutes—Ishaani is kidnapped, and Sakshi is back in the same cursed village she once fled. The rest of the film revolves around some samarpan, a bloodthirsty Pradhan, and a woman-prepping Daasi Maa played by Soha Ali Khan (yes, seriously).

What starts as a social horror tale quickly descends into symbolic absurdity, with confusing rituals, half-baked mythologies, and a disturbing lack of coherence. The writers lazily rehash the setting, conflict, and scares—making the film feel like a looping nightmare you can’t wake up from.

Star Performance:

Nushrratt Bharuccha tries to give her best, but the script gives her nothing substantial to work with. She’s often just running, screaming, or crying—without much impact.

Soha Ali Khan as Daasi Maa is a mystery in itself. Whether she’s dead, alive, or a ghost is never clarified—and her character’s arc is symbolic at best, confusing at worst. The supporting cast, including a boy named Shalin who could have been interesting, is poorly written and mostly forgotten by the climax.

Direction & Music:

Director Vishal Furia, who had previously created a hard-hitting horror drama with Chhorii, completely loses grip in this sequel. He fails to ground the story in logic or even in well-defined fantasy. The horror is neither scary nor thrilling, and the visual symbolism (such as the Pradhan tasting blood) becomes grotesquely confusing rather than haunting.

The background score tries hard to maintain tension but often ends up feeling forced, especially when the screenplay offers no real stakes or suspense.

The Last Word:

Chhorii 2 is a perfect example of why not every successful film needs a sequel. The original had a voice, a social message, and a terrifying atmosphere. This one is nothing but noise, confusing metaphors, and cringe-worthy symbolism.

Verdict: Watch the first Chhorii again if you want meaningful horror. Skip this one if you value your time—or your sanity.
