Bhumi Pednekar plays Chanchal Chauhan, who is in prison and who's taken to a sprawling mansion called Durgamati Haveli. Mahie Gill is an investigating officer and Arshad Warsi is a powerful politician who cannot be touched. There's a mysterious woman called Durgamati who's spirit enters into the body of Chanchal.
This is the dense plot of Durgamati, the remake of the Telugu hit, Bhaagamathie, which starred Anushka Shetty. The first thing that engulfs you in its world is the stunning camerawork and some scary scenes that promise jump-scare moments. And as always, Bhumi Pednekar has immersed herself into a complex part.
