Life turns upside down for disgraced IAS officer Chanchal Chauhan when she is taken to a deserted mansion for police questioning. There, she is possessed by a spirit who was wronged and –make no mistake – she will be avenged.IAS officer Chanchal Chauhan (Bhumi Pednekar) was just a few days shy of being married to social activist Shakti Singh (Karan Kapadia) when tragedy struck. Chauhan is behind bars for brutally murdering her fiancé. In a not-so-distant world, Minister of Water Resources, Ishwar Prasad (Arshad Warsi), is on CBI’s radar for the mysterious disappearance of multiple idols from renowned ancient temples. Chauhan’s fate is sealed and Prasad is evading capture – what’s the connect between these two government servants together?Durgamati 2020 Movie Download.
Why is Chauhan being questioned in an abandoned, deplorable building notorious for paranormal presence and often labelled as ‘cursed’? And, most importantly, upon reaching the venue, why did Chauhan claim to be the physical avatar of the ghostly Durgamati, and who was she?Ashok G’s Hindi retelling of his 2018 Tamil-Telugu bilingual ‘Bhaagamathie’ is daring but dated, relevant but rancid.
Writer-director Ashok G’s ambitious project ‘Durgamati’ rides on the horse-and-buggy theme of ‘good over evil’ with ‘Vox Pop’ serving as undercurrent in this socially inclined horror-thriller. Barring the first scene – where women, children are seen flying around and being dragged out of their homes by an evil entity – the first 30 minutes is solely dedicated to building the premise and laying it all out for the audience to get hooked. Premise we get, hooked we don’t. For starters, Bhumi Pednekar as the dejected bureaucrat-behind-bars paints a gloomy picture and the viewer is invested well enough to be curious about her back story. But, once the shift from this demure persona to a vengeful former queen (who is incessantly singing her own praises, pfft…) happens, Bhumi becomes this bombastic devi whose heroism and subsequent plight is one that makes you wince and shudder.
