Today I am starting with a review of Durgamati: the myth movie, this is a Hindi remake of the 2018 super hit Tamil-Telugu film 'Bhagmathie', this movie is available on Amazon Prime. It's a horror-thriller genre film, which in the lead role has Bhumi Pednekar, Arshad Warsi, Mahi gill, and Jisshu Sen Gupta.
Charcter's Name
- Bhumi Pednekar - Chanchal Chouhan/ Durgamati

- Karan Kapadia - Shakti
Story Line
So the story starts with Bhumi Pednekar who is playing the role of Chanchal Chouhan an incorruptible IAS officer who is behind bars for the murder of her social activist fiance.
Ishwar Prasad played by Arshad Warsi is a minister of water resources is shown as an honest politician who is against his own party members for the robbery of ancient precious idols across temples of Madhya Pradesh and to eliminate any doubts, he announces that he'll quit politics if the government doesn't solve the case of robbery.
So to control Ishwar prasad, other members of the party appoint a senior officer of CBI Satakshi Ganguly (Mahie Gill) to frame and inquire more about Ishwar Prasad, for that she plans to interrogate Chanchal Chauhan at a secluded place as she was the secretary of Ishwar Prasad for a long time. That secluded place is a deserted haveli(palace) which is believed to be haunted by the spirit of a princess named Durgamati.
The real story starts from here where it looks like that Chanchal Chouhan is possessed by the spirit and the story goes on. It has many twists, turns, and disclosures at the end which is not so surprising as it was a little predictable from the beginning.
The performances are no doubt very impressive by all the actors as all actors are very experienced and always give good performances. Horror scenes are very cliche like any other Hindi horror film, there is no newness. The movie is a one time watch for those who haven't watched the original Bhagmathi movie.
But, for those who have watched the original, the comparison is obvious and in comparison Durgamati becomes weak. Bollywood needs to stop making remakes of south Indian movies, as we have seen none of the Hindi remakes is as good as the original one.
If you have nothing to do give it a watch or you can simply pass it.
I am planning to write the latest and popular OTT shows review of Netflix, Amazon, Hotstar, and others regularly. Please feel free to suggest if anything else suppose to be included in the review.
Thank you!
