Gear up for a spine chilling experience with ‘Chhorii’, WTP on Sony MAX!

What happens when an eight months pregnant couple’s most joyous time leads them into a downward spiral of the most horrifying incidents? While they gear up to face the inevitable, a graver truth lurking in the dark hits them hard. Stand witness to an untold, eerie and spine chilling chronicle with the #WorldTelevisionPremiere of #Chhorii on #SonyMAX.

The film dwells on a NGO worker Sakshi, also an expectant mother and her husband Hemant, whose lives overturn following a life threatening warning from the loan sharks. Forced to abscond from the city and take refuge in a secluded village, Sakshi and Hemant find themselves stuck amidst a bigger vortex of secrets, myths and scares, they hadn’t bargained for. With stories of witches haunting the village and uncanny occurrences happening around, Sakshi encounters a life altering experience, uncovering a secret that’s waiting to be told. But will she survive to unfold it?

Helmed by Vishal Furia and starring Nushrratt Bharuccha in the lead, Chhorii promises a nail biting viewing experience, reflecting not only on the horror that prevails in the dark but the greater evils that plague our society.

Director Vishal Furia on World Television Premeire of Chhorii “Television reaches the masses like no other medium.The idea behind making Chhorii was that the horror and the awareness about the social evil should reach the masses. I am very excited that with the World Television Premiere being on Sony Max, even a person who does not possess a smartphone or a subscription to digital services will be able to see Chhorii now”

On the movie he added “Horror genre is an abused and under-utilised genre in Bollywood. But it is a very powerful and impactful genre when used correctly. When I read the statistics about female infanticide and foeticide, I was horrified. I was even more traumatised upon hearing the stories of the mothers who went through such experiences. I felt that the right genre to tell these stories was horror as the audience also needs to experience a mother’s pain while going through a horror like this. It is important that the story leaves an everlasting impact upon the viewers and they talk or reflect upon it.Shooting a horror film is a lot of hard work and some days are very intense for the actors and technicians. They are emotionally and physically challenging as well. There were a couple of days when Nushrat broke down while performing the takes of a couple of intense scenes. The trauma of the situation got to her and she could not stop crying. Even Yaaneea who played the ghost had a tough time shooting with prosthetic makeup on many days. But the artists and the technicians never gave up. They all gave their best and the result is for everyone to see. I am proud of the whole Chhorii team for pulling off such an amazing film in the middle of a looming Covid situation”

Hold your breath and keep your eyes wide open for a spellbinding experience with the World Television Premiere of Chhorii on Sony MAX.
