It’s been almost a year when theatres were asked to shut down due to rapid rise in the cases of Coronavirus in the country. Two of the films playing in theatres at that point were ANGREZI MEDIUM, produced by Dinesh Vijan, and KAAMYAAB, directed by Hardik Mehta. In an interesting turn of events, ROOHI, the film that releases today and kickstarts the movie-watching season in cinemas, is helmed by both these personalities. So does ROOHI manage to entertain and enthral the audiences? Or does it fail to entice? Let’s analyse.
ROOHI is the story of a possessed girl. Bhawra Pandey (Rajkummar Rao) and Kattanni Qureshi (Varun Sharma) work as crime journalists in a small town, Baagadpur. They also specialise in

Roohi, from the makers of Stree, released today.
Janhvi Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao and Varun Sharma-starrer Roohi has released today and it opened to mixed reviews. The film is produced by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films, the same production house behind the 2018 film Stree. While Roohi is not a sequel to Stree, it belongs to the same universe, as confirmed by Dinesh Vijan in one of his interviews. He had said that all his horror comedies will start connecting at a later stage and that they are taking ‘baby steps’ right now. Marvel Cinematic Universe has nothing on you.
