After
the
poor
performance
of
Jab
Harry
Met
Sejal
at
the
box
office,
Anushka
Sharma
is
back
with
yet
another
film;
this
time
she's
here
to
spook
you!
We
are
talking
about
her
latest
release
Pari
which
hit
the
theatrical
screens
yesterday.
Pari
is
a
horror
movie
and
some
might
call
it
odd
to
release
such
film
on
Holi.
Talking
about
the
film's
box
office
performance,
early
reports
suggest
that
the
film
opened
to
occupancy
of
around
10
to
12
percent
across
the
country.
It
has
been
reported
that
the
film
started
slowly
but
picked
up
business
later
in
the
evening
once
the
Holi
festivities
got
over.
As
per
a
Box
Office
India
report,
Pari
collected
appproximately
Rs.
3.75
crore
on
its
opening
day.
Pari
is
made
on
the
reasonable
budget
of
Rs
18
crore
including
promotion
and
advertising.
Interestingly,
it
has
already
recovered
Rs
10
crore
through
satellite,
music
and
other
rights.
Meanwhile,
the
film
has
received
some
rave
reviews
for
Anushka
Sharma's
act.
Prior
to
the
film's
release,
If
I
tell
you
Pari
is
a
love
story,
you
will
be
surprised.
But
it
is.
It's
not
something
which
you
can
define
or
confine
to
one
genre.
Horror's
always
a
treatment
and
atmospheric
horror
is
just
brilliant,
which
is
what
Pari
is
all
about."
She
had
also
added,
"Love
stories
also
don't
work
at
times,
but
there
are
lesser
examples
to
make
here.
So
you
can
say
horror
mein
aisa
hota
hai.
This
genre
isn't
one
that
has
been
tried-and-tested.
I
believe
it's
got
an
untapped
potential.
India
watches
a
lot
of
horror
and
it's
an
interesting
space.
Horror
doesn't
always
have
to
be
about
ghosts
coming
out
of
closets.
It's
a
theme.
It's
the
treatment
and
that's
what
is
exciting.
This
genre
has
not
been
explored
too
well
in
Bollywood,
which
is
why
I
got
into
this.
I
want
people
to
always
expect
the
unconventional
from
me."
Directed
by
debutant
director
Prosit
Roy,
Pari
also
stars
Parambrata
Chatterjee
and
Rajat
Kapoor.
