Pari: Not a Fairytale, that stars Anushka Sharma – Kohli in the lead role, opposite critically acclaimed actors like Parambrata Chatterjee and Mansi Multani among several others, is all set to release this week.

What really astonishes us is, that an actress who is visibly at the peak of her career and has come to be associated with several hit films, is willing to experiment in easily the most underrated genre of Bollywood – horror.

Bollywood horror films yield laughter more than the spooks. They tend to leave the audience in splits rather than biting nails. Thus, horror is hardly respected and doesn’t get any claim form the audience.

Also most horror films, for some weird reason carry a lot of sexuality and sensual appeal with them.

However, with Pari these stereotypes we hope will be broken. The film has a very interesting and thrilling storyline, and the trailer/teaser could give any one the ‘thrills’ often associated with horror films.

The make-up team, has done an amazing job bringing alive the characters in the film.

One thing that requires special appreciation is Anushka’s readiness to accept and even produce such a film, in a genre that is hardly respected in Bollywood. The chances of her film doing well might have been much more if this film had one crazy item song or maybe some kind of sexual appeal. But that’s the thing about ‘Pari’. It promises you quality horror and is bound to be an experiment in the current scenario of Bollywood. Kudos to Sharma, for trying her hands on something so new.

We can’t wait to watch Pari and review it!

Also, we really hope the film does well and more stars are encouraged to experiment in this genre.
