Review: Buri Nazar

Buri Nazar Buri Nazar by Madhuri Shekar
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hooter: A little too perfect a potential son in law can also be a cause of concern.

A short story by Madhuri Shekar adapted into Hindi by Noopur Sinha over 6 episodes of about 30 minutes each - I am a big fan of Sayani Gupta and Supriya Pathak with the medium of voice are able to create such a relatable mother-daughter relationship through the light moments to the dark moments. Supriya as the mom is always worried even when things are going too perfect which gets her daughter's goat for all the worrying her mom had done for things not going good. While the dad plays a supporting role without being overbearing, the potential son in law tries real hard to create the goosebumps that his character is supposed to evince in all of us.

The light hearted to dark sinister mode happens very rapidly and that timing felt a bit off for me but just for the chemistry of Sayani and Supriya, The build up to the supernatural thriller that this is supposed to be is good, maybe setting expectations too high worth nevertheless worth a listen.
