If you don't have a story, don't make a movie. It is as simple as it is.

We understand Netflix wants to create cinema with a message but they need to understand this "understand your audience" , what could had been a 20 minute short film it was turned into a movie which was utter boring , bad cinematography , bad acting and to top it all a very bad story for the intended message.

Hello all,
I wasted another Friday night with this garbage. Netflix movies used to be far better. But now their standards are going way downhill. The message in this movie, if any, is about female infanticide in India. But the direction and story is so bad that half way through you start cursing its producers for wasting their money on this director. Save urself some time and watch something else. This movie is a waste of your time and producer's money.

I felt good watching this movie ....coz I wasted only 2 hours of my life while movie makers wasted many more. There wasn't an option to give a big O zero rating else would have given a zero instead of 1. I mean why would you even make a movie when you have no story at all, just why ? Funny thing is the review submittion mentioned "does this review contain spoilers" lollzzz there is absolutely nothing going on in this movie , this movie itself is a one big pathetic, worst ever time spoiler.

This aint a horror film, there is nothing scary, absolutely no tension n suspense.
The subject of female infanticide n female foeticide which is highly prevalent in my beloved country, especially in the northern regions shud have been dealt seriously rather than trying to make it into a lousy, non scary horror film.

Set On the backdrop of contemporary rural north India, this endeavour of making an eerrie film with the theme of the rural India's apathy towards girl child, is ofcourse a failed attempt. But, we know Indian or rather Hindi horror genre, where in the recent times, except Tumbbad, none is even watchable. This movie is an exception to that. Despite it's shortcomings it stood through because of the performances, specially the child actors together with a splendid role by Shabana Azmi, and ofcouse the direction and beaitiful cenematography. Whatever the script is, it has been presented fatless, lean manner. Definitely a good watch.

There is no storyline, nothing!! From first to last it's utter garbage.

This movie starts out with amazing atmosphere right from the start. The cinematography is stunning.
I've watched many horror movies in my life and lately they all seem to be the same thing over and over. I found Kaali Khuhi to be a refreshing take on a haunted tale. Even better to watch a film that has important meaning.
The acting was strong especially from young actress Riva Arora. She has a bright future ahead of her.
I don't recommend many scary films to my friends especially recent scary films, but I will recommend Kaali Khuhi to everyone.

A spooky, atmospheric meditation on the twisted ways tradition can manifest in the real world, with real consequences. This isn't your usual horror film, so don't come in expecting jump scares and gory sequences (though there are plenty of creepy moments!).
Instead, Kaali Khuhi is a dark, surreal story that connects a young city girl to the girls who lived in her father's village before her. The spirits are angry, and rightfully so. Worth a watch, and a discussion afterwards, about a practice that still unfortunately happens worldwide, and about the director's POV on who's complicit and who's innocent - and who really has control over their future.
Engaging and thought-provoking, beautifully shot, and far more interesting than most "horror" films I've ever seen.

Whenever something from Bollywood comes on Netflix, I am always apprehensive that it is going to turn out to be a waste of time. This is one of such movies. I don't understand what the movie wanted to convey ?
Guys, please donate the money to some poor kid in India, but don't torture us with movies like this
