Bokshi
Wed 12 Nov 22:15
Troubled teen, Anahita (Prasanna Bisht), finds comfort in Shalini (Mansi Multani), the mysterious History teacher leading a trek to a little-known prehistoric site. This unconventional school trip into an ancient forest turns eerie as cryptic connections emerge between the site and a cult that worships Bokshi, a much-feared folkloric demoness. Anahita finds herself tested as the long-forgotten myth of Bokshi unfurls, forcing her to confront the horrors of her past.
This epic folk horror film takes in personal melodrama, through high school angst, to terrifying ancient power. Lush north Indian locations and seductive cinematography make for an impressive directorial feature debut.
