Roohi (2021) : Two small-town boys, Bhaura Pandey (Rajkummar Rao) and Kattanni Qureshi (Varun Sharma), are stuck with Roohi (Janhvi Kapoor) under strange circumstances. She seems to be a simple, demure girl, but they soon realise that she has another side to her ‑ her “ghostly” personality, Afza. Bhaura develops feeling for Roohi, and Kattanni falls for Afza. With a strange romance brewing between the trio, Bhaura wants to get rid of Afza, while Kattani wants to make sure she lives on so that he can romance her. Their crazy attempts to find a solution to their problem leads them into strange, but comic situations, where they encounter bizarre characters. What happens next forms the crux of the story..

The blood-curdling banshee-wail that the titular female protagonist lets out in the climax of Roohi is ear-splitting all right, but it isn't exciting enough for filmgoers to sit up and respond to it in the way that they would to a more coherent clarion ca.

If Dinesh Vijan and Maddock are really serious about creating an exciting horror universe that could last for several years and films, then Roohi is quite a misstep in that direction as it not only undoes a lot of the goodwill created by Stree, but also a.

On the whole, ROOHI rests on a unique concept, fine performances and some interesting funny and horror sequences. However, the disappointing climax and difficult-to-understand dialect might affect the film’s prospects at the box office..
