Anupama Chopra Film Companion Pari asks the big question - are human beings in fact the biggest monsters? I say the biggest horror is a lame script. Rated: 2/5 Sep 5, 2018 Full Review Udita Jhunjhunwala Scroll.in Pari is technically competent, and Prosit Roy receives production support in plenty. The costumes, hair and make -up, and background music being noteworthy....but themes of good versus evil and love limits this film's appeal to the loyal viewer. Mar 2, 2018 Full Review Namrata Joshi The Hindu Pari is the kind of horror that gags and chokes you with an incipient dread. But only up to a point...Roy makes it all too literal, with a righteous take on pregnancy and abortion. In an effort to find neat closure, the director spins a clumsy climax. Mar 2, 2018 Full Review Anna M.M. Vetticad Firstpost Pari is scary as hell and heaven and every imaginable eerie space in between. Rated: 3/5 Nov 1, 2022 Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills It’s an atmospheric tale with a commanding lead performance by Melika Foroutan. Feb 4, 2022 Full Review Sankhayan Ghosh Film Companion This is risky territory for a horror film, especially when the film has succeeded in keeping its monster out of sight through a sound effect trick. [But] director Prosit Roy does something clever... Oct 30, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Phebos Good movie and a great performance by Anushka Sharma. Not really a horror movie but more of a love story (The confusion probably explains the negative reviews). Worth a watch and a fresh idea which is rare in Bollywood. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/07/24 Full Review Solomon K As horror movies go this was better than most American films lately. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/06/23 Full Review Audience Member If this the audience don't like this kind of pure horror, thrill and fantasy then i don't know what kind of horror movies they are waiting for, fantabulous skills shown by Anushka Sharma. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member A Bollywood movie that is actually well written and makes you feel different emotions. Well done! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member "If she is a monster, then what does that make me?" Why you should watch Pari. "If she is a monster, then what does that make me?" This is not a typical ghost story. If you ever watched Let Me In; which is a story about a little boy being friends with a girl who turned out to be a vampire, you would surely liked this one. The characters are unique in their own way. The religious guru which is portrayed by Rajat Kapoor hunts down a djinn who is the most dangerous evil spirit in his beliefs. He then tortures them mercilessly before finally killing them. He may be doing a right job, but doesn't that makes him an angel? In other way, Arnab is a shy guy who is soon to be married to Piyali, a doctor whom he met on a blind date. However on their way back home, they hit a person and she died on the spot. When they trying to get her relatives to settle things, Arnab only found a woman chained in a small hut; who happen to be her daughter; Rukshana. A series of events led Rukshana to Arnab's place and you definitely have to watch the movie to see it unfolds. What I can't forget the most is Arnab's phrase to Piyali when he finally come to sense, "If she is a monster, then what does that make me? I left her all alone" The last part is totally unsettling. You either love it or hate it. 'Pari' is not a fairytale. Not totally a ghost story either. It deals with a normal scenery of everyday life and everyone have their own reasons for their actions. Never before have I seen a movie that leaves me so mystified before. Well done Prosit Roy. Well done India. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Prosit Roy's Pari is an absolutely stunning horror film with compelling frames and directorial competence ushered aplenty, and delivers because of Anushka Dharma's wonderful performance that makes the screen crawl. The visuals have an interesting buildup to stay with you, and the proceedings are thoroughly enjoyable. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
