'Roohi' Trailer: Rajkummar Rao and Janhvi Kapoor's film revolves around a singing ghost who puts the grooms to sleep so it can possess their bride.
The makers of 'Roohi' released the trailer for Rajkummar Rao, Janhvi Kapoor, and Varun Sharma's film on Tuesday. The film which was previously called 'Rooh Afza' and then 'Roohi Afzana', is a horror-comedy directed by Hardik Mehta, who has helmed 'Kaamyaab' in 2018 and co-written 'Trapped' (2016).
The trailer opens with an eery sound effect and narrates the story of a witch, Roohi played by Janhvi Kapoor who kidnaps brides on their honeymoon. This is when Veer and Raj played by Rajkummar Rao and Varun Sharma respectively come into the picture as the two men from the village take up the responsibility to save the brides from Roohi, hence forming the core of the plot. The trailer ends on a comic note as Varun's character asks the 'witch' to 'Palat', a nod to Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol starrer 'Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge'.
The 3-minute-long trailer displays the acting prowess of Rajkummar Rao and will remind you of his character in 'Ludo'. Rajkummar's subtle comedy and timing are impeccable as is clear in the trailer.

On the other hand, Janhvi plays the role of a witch convincingly. Her character seems to be cliched at times, but the 2 films old actor pulls it off.
Varun Sharma plays the third lead in the film and his empathy towards a witch gives the film a humane touch, reminding us of 'Stree' that also had a social message despite being a horror-comedy.
The description of the trailer reads, "Roohi is set in a fictional town of North India. The film revolves around two small-town boys Bhaura and Kattanni who are stuck in a forest with Roohi. But there’s an insidious spirit following them with feet turned backward. What will happen next?"
'Roohi' is set to hit the big screens on March 11, 2021. The horror-comedy reunites Rajkummar Rao with the makers of 'Stree' and the film is helmed by Hardik Mehta and produced by Dinesh Vijan.
