Published by Webster

Producer Prerna Arora has backed some of the most impactful films like `Toilet: Ek Prem Katha,` `PadMan,` and `Rustom.` One such gem from her body of work is the 2018 film `Pari.` The out-and-out supernatural horror film, which starred Anushka Sharma in the lead role, gave the audience the chills they sought for their entertainment. Prerna, whose eye for a good story, has made her one of the most prolific producers in the film industry, went down memory lane as the film completes 6 years of release on March 2.  Besides acting in it, Anushka also worked as the co-producer of the film, which was directed by Prosit Roy. The film was about the demon-daughter of a woman, who falls in love with a human, only to be hunted down by a professor on a mission to end all demons of the same lineage.  Talking about the film, Prerna says, “I have always believed that Pari is a milestone film in the history of Indian horror stories.

While some fans appreciated her efforts, and wrote: “He would have loved to hear you sing this”, and stated that she had a “magical voice”, others were not so generous with their comments. “Aaj gaane ki zid na karo,” wrote one user, while another questioned who convinced the actor that “she can sing”.

Gupta, the writer-creator of the streaming series ‘Tooth Pari: When Love Bites’, drew inspiration from his formative years in Kolkata to create an immersive experience for the series which is set against the backdrop of a land divided between ‘Uppar’ (Human world) and ‘Neeche’ (Vampire world) ki duniya, and narrates the love story between a human and a vampire. One of the things that stands out in the series is the presentation of Kolkata, its architecture, culture and the narrow alleys. Kolkata is more than a location in the series. Talking about the experience of shooting in Kolkata, Pratim said: “Shooting in Kolkata was a transformative experience – immersing ourselves in a city that is so steeped in literature, art, music, as well as philosophy. Kolkata isn’t simply the location where the story of ‘Tooth Pari’ is set. It’s a character in its own right and it propels the story forward. It was …

Tooth Pari: When Love Bites Review – A Whimsical, Entrancing, Absurdist Take On Love And Longing

Published by Webster

A still from Tooth Pari. (courtesy: shantanu.maheshwari) Cast: Tanya Maniktala, Shantanu Maheshwari, Revathi, Sikander Kher, Adil Hussain, Saswata Chatterjee and Tillotama Shome Director: Pratim Dasgupta Rating: Three stars (out of 5) The idiosyncratic urban fairy tale at the core of Tooth Pari: When Love Bites, a Netflix original series written and directed by Pratim Dasgupta, is set in contemporary Kolkata.

More a genteel romance than a zany and zippy sanguinary lore, Tooth Pari: When Love Bites is a story of impossible love that rides on a range of emotions, impulses and eccentric sleights. It is mildly diverting and technically spiffy fare bolstered by a great cast. The series bridges (successfully for the most part) two opposing spheres – one inhabited by a handful of vampires prone to sending their victims into “deep hyp”, the other occupied by flesh-and-blood humans dealing with matters that often stray beyond the mundane.
