‘Evil Eye’ Doesn’t Glorify Superstition, Say Directors Elan And Rajeev Dassani

Mumbai: Touching upon themes of reincarnation and superstition in their thriller movie “Evil Eye”, the Dassani brothers — Elan and Rajeev — say they were aware as directors to not present a sensationalised version of the story. Based on Madhuri Shekar’s Audible Original audio play of the same name, “Evil Eye” stars Sarita Choudhury and “Glow” actor Sunita Mani.

The film, which released on Amazon Prime Video last month, follows a mother, who is convinced that her daughter’s new boyfriend has a dark connection to her own past. A large part of the film’s premise relies on Mani’s Pallavi navigating her overbearing, superstitious mother Usha (Choudhury), before it opens up to its larger theme of sexual assault, domestic abuse and misogyny.
