Reception
Rahul Desai of The Hollywood Reporter India observed that "Despite its mood-lullaby vibe, Chhorii 2 resembles a curated museum exhibit of go-girl tropes. It’s all too familiar. And if Vishal Furia’s horror film were a person, it’d be a gender studies student on a gap year."[11] Sukanya Verma of rediff.com rated 1.5/5 stars and said that "Chhorii 2 frustrates way more than it frightens".[12] Dhaval Roy of The Times of India gave 3.5 stars out of 5 and said that "A socially charged horror tale packed with unnerving visuals and strong performances makes this a gripping watch from start to end."[13] Sana Farzeen of India Today rated 2.5/5 stars and she observed that "The film struggles to deliver the intended chills, leading to a lacklustre experience."[14]
Vinamra Mathur of Firstpost gave 2.5 stars and said "The intent is right and the theme is correct. The visuals are effective even if the execution falters".[15] Udita Jhunjhunwala of Scroll.in commented that "The film’s themes include blind faith and fierce misogyny. After a great deal of blood, tears and screams, the emotional and disturbing core of Chhorii 2 is somewhat outdone by its focus on motifs, message and technique."[16]
Devesh Sharma of Filmfare gave 2.5 stars out of 5 and commeneted that "Chorii 2 is an atmospheric horror film that strikes a blow against patriarchy."[17] Shubham Kulkarni of OTT Play rated the film 2.5/5 stars and said, "Chhorii 2 is much better than a lot of massive star vehicles set on monstrous budgets."[18] A critic from Bollywood Hungama gave 2 stars out of 5 and said that "CHHORII 2 rests on fine performances and a strong message but suffers due to a weak script, underwhelming climax and tacky VFX".[19] Soumyabrata Gupta Times Now observed that "The Film lacks in using tropes of the genre to its fullest, becoming preachy rather than a terrifying watch."[20]
