With its refined particulars and nuances, Roohi will make you curious. Most of the scenes are loaded with nice VFX, and spooky soundtrack, obligatory for a horror movie.
Janhvi Kapoor performs a witch who will get salvation provided that she is married off to a person. She can twist her neck 360 levels, and her ft are turned backwards. Yes, within the trailer itself you’ll know that the movie is full of witch cliches, however Janhvi appears to be like promising, and her prosthetics make her look convincing.
Rajkummar Rao alternatively will remind you of his humorous character from Anurag Basu’s Ludo given his antics, dressing sense and dance steps. However, this time, Raj’s character stutters and his drawback is used as a comic book aid within the movie.
Varun Sharma appears to be in an incredible kind, his comedian timing is impeccable. His empathy in the direction of a witch provides the movie a humane contact and we realise that, like Maddock Film’s Stree (2018), this movie will too have a hidden social message.
The Indian Express acquired a possibility to look at the trailer a day prematurely on the Maddock Films’ workplace in Mumbai. We realised how the movie is made for the large display, and it was clever of the movie’s producer, Dinesh Vijan to attend for the theatres to open in full capability earlier than releasing it.
Roohi is scheduled to launch in theatres on March 11.
