On Thursday, November 13, the makers of the Jackie Shroff-Sharad Kelkar starrer Kaali Kheti unveiled its official trailer, and it only takes seconds to figure that this horror film will be entirely dark, despairing and, a lot of the times, consumed by supernatural elements.
Written and directed by Haris Imtiyaz Khan, the film also features Neha Sargam, Shaji Choudhary and Virendra Saxena in pivotal roles.
The trailer opens with the sound of panting as an unseen figure seems to move closer to a secluded hut on a farm. Inside the hut is Shroff, fearful of who is out there.
Shroff plays Kelkar's father in the film. The first interaction the trailer offers is between the both, where Kelkar says, "Bauji, shukriya yahan aane ke liye." (Dad, thank you for coming here), to which Shroff replies, "Itni mushkil thi toh der kyun ki, pehle bula lena chahiye tha," (If things were so difficult, then why did you wait? You should have called me sooner).
A later scene adds more perspective to the picture. In this, Shroff is seen speaking to a child, asking him why he ran away after seeing some kids downstairs. The kid replies, "dar lagta hai" (I feel scared). The visual asset slowly reveals that these kids are supernatural beings who lurk in the tall grass of the field.
The rest of the trailer also introduces gory visuals and Shroff and Kelkar's chilling fight for survival as the people and their farm begin to feel increasingly untrustworthy and destructive. It ends with a woman's voice saying, "ab kheti ka kya hoga?" (What will happen to the farm now?)
Produced by Sana Khan under the banner of BlackCanvas Studio, Kaali Kheti is scheduled to release in theatres on November 20.
