The horror-comedy 'Roohi' is such a wild ride, blending spine-chilling moments with laugh-out-loud humor. It follows Roohi, a shy young woman who gets kidnapped by two bumbling small-town guys, Bhaura and Kattanni, planning to sell her off for marriage. But things take a supernatural turn when she becomes possessed by a vengeful spirit named Afza, who has her own twisted agenda. The film flips between eerie sequences—like Afza’s eerie demands for human flesh—and the absurd desperation of the kidnappers now terrified of their own captive.
The real charm lies in how the story subverts expectations. Bhaura and Kattanni, initially the villains, end up scrambling to save Roohi from Afza, adding layers of dark comedy. The small-town setting with its superstitious locals amplifies the chaos. What stuck with me was the commentary on how fear can turn predators into prey—and how Afza’s backstory as a wronged woman adds a bittersweet edge to the carnage.
