I liked the minimalistic portrayal of Krishnan by Bernard White and, Omkar Maskati who tried to play his character with minimalism couldn’t create the fishiness he was supposed to create. The writing here is trying to make the characters sound a bit too overdramatic and this lack of nuances in the writing is limiting the performances too. Sarita Choudhury who plays the role of the concerned mother Usha was fine in that character. There are only four major characters here.
But what we get to see is a character that speaks about standing up against abuse and at the same time has no regard for personal space. The movie is trying to portray her controlling nature as care and I was hoping at some point they will address this as a psychological issue so that we can have a sense of empathy towards the trauma the character has faced. And this mother character was very problematic for me. But Evil Eye has so much of other content that just doesn’t have any sort of life, and by the time the movie reaches this “moral of the story” part, you will feel exhausted. It’s a really good thought to infuse in a horror drama. And running away isn’t the option you have to train your daughters to fight against their bigotry. The movie written by Madhuri Shekar is trying to say this idea that misogynist men are like these ghosts that are reborn. The drama that unfolds after that is what we are seeing in Evil Eye.
The story takes a drastic turn when Pallavi finds a guy named Sandeep and Usha starts to get this feeling that this man is the reincarnation of the man who abused her in the past. So she is extremely superstitious and her level of caring for her daughter is almost on a harassing level. Before her marriage, Usha was in a very abusive relationship and she believes that the curse of that man is following her daughter as well.
Usha and her daughter Pallavi are our central characters.
