Anushka Sharma Does Not Look Like The 'Pari' Of Our Nightmares At All In The First Trailer
What was your first thought when you got to know that Anushka Sharma would be starring in a movie called ‘Pari’? Way before any posters or teasers were unveiled, most of us thought that it’ll be yet another fairytale-like romance, because Anushka Sharma and bubbly roles go hand in hand.
So when we saw the first poster, we were obviously taken aback.

It became clear that it was nowhere even close to being a ‘fairytale’.
But since nothing was revealed about the plot, we were all left to wonder what will Anushka’s character be like?
Unfortunately, for months, we were not given any answers. Anushka just kept on teasing us with different posters and ‘screamers’ (another word for teasers).
Like this motion poster:
Sweet dreams guys…… #HoliWithPari
And then this teaser too:
She will grow on you… #1MonthToPari @parambratachattopadhyay @officialcsfilms @kriarj @pooja_ent
Is the movie a horror film? Is it about abuse? Is she a ghost? What are you doing Anushka?
We had so many questions.
And finally, after what feels like a million years, the full trailer of the film is here and now we aren’t sure how we feel about it.
Before you assume that we mean it’s bad and not worth watching, we would like to clarify something. What we mean is that the trailer is good, but maybe just not crazy good.
Horror/Thrillers haven’t exactly been Bollywood’s strong suit and this seems like an excellent attempt to change the game.
We see Anushka’s character playing the damsel-in-distress who is scared for her life as a man is out to kill her.

But just as you start to sympathise with her, you realise that she might not be as innocent as she pretends to be.

Thereafter, Anushka might appear as the villain of the movie but of course, that is not the case either. We see ANOTHER Anushka towards the end and that is probably going to scare the daylights out of you.

Watch the trailer here:
Although Bollywood has a long way to go in this genre, one thing is for sure: Anushka has changed the meaning of the word ‘Pari’ forever and we would never want to see one in real life. (If they exist that is).
The film is set for Holi release, that is 2nd March 2018.
