The incidents of the movie takes place to wholly around Arnab, awkward, reserved, and kind hearted man and his wife, Piyali, a talkative, and straightforward nurser that believes in the calming powers of the anulom-vilom, witness a road accident in their way back to home and a dead woman. Arnab finds out, Rukhsana, a victim of abuse who chained up to the hut and decides to help her.
Once Roy strips away the mystery from his characters, Pari loses its way, and it feels like a laboured finish to the end. Even those easily scared (like this reviewer) will find no need to avert their eyes.
A more dramatic story and tauter screenplay would have turned it into a true blue horror film. But in the present form, the only feeling it evokes is of sadness brought out by the fact that a brilliant opportunity got lost.
Jishnu Bhattacharjee's innovative cinematography tries to cover-up, but he can't rescue a film that fails to explain its lead's sudden change of character.
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.
