Barot House

A ZEE5 Original film is streaming on the OTT platform from today. Barot House stars Amit Sadh and Manjari Fadnnis in the leading roles and is helmed by Bhargava ‘Bugs’ Krishna. Going by the reviews, the flick is scary, scarring and stimulating in equal parts. In case you haven’t made up your mind yet, here are seven reasons why you shouldn’t miss this mysterious thriller experience of the Barots.

To begin with, Barot House is based on true events. Yes, the story has drawn inspiration from real-life incidents. This ain’t a fictional drama involving a couple and their kids but reflects reality.

Amit Sadh

The horror story is not a new topic for Sadh. He had made his film debut with the 2010 horror film, Phoonk 2. Amit Sadh is an Indian actor. He played the character of Kshitij, a lawyer, in Shobna Desai's daily soap opera Durgesh Nandinii that aired on Sony Entertainment Television.

Amit Sadh is known for his co-starring and supporting roles in such films as the drama Kai Po Che (2013), the comedy Guddu Rangeela (2015), and the political thriller Sarkar 3 (2017). He was also one of the contestants in the reality show Bigg Boss in 2006.

Manjiri Phadnis

Manjiri Fadnnis who has appeared in various Indian language films like Hindi, Telugu, Bengali, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam and his mother tongue language Marathi. She is best known for her performance in the 2008 Hindi film Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na. She has appeared in the web series of Voot platform Fuh Se Fantasy. She played the character of Neha.

Bhargava Krishna

Actor-director ‘Bugs’ Bhargava Krishna is an advertising creative director, writer, ad filmmaker, and theatre personality. The actor and director who has struggled to become successful in the films have surprised us with the Barot House. He has acted in the films like Taare Zameen Parr, Delly Belly. His famous line for the ad campaign Coca-Cola drink "Taste The Thunder" took the country by storm.

High On Thrill

It is highly unimaginative and certain montage sequences seem to begin and end abruptly. However, to his credit, the director does not lose sight of the intense climax he is building towards and does manage to deliver the excitement and catharsis. Unarguably, ZEE5 has been churning out some remarkable content for suspense and thriller lovers. If you are seeking the chills and love biting your nails through film/series, Barot House is a treat for you!

Family Relationship

Manjari Fadnis in the role of a grieving mother does not have much to offer. She is also suspected by Amit to be cheating on him but the tension and guilt, if there's any truth to Amit's perception about his wife's character, are not explored as genuine emotions that would have fleshed out her role more. This could also be because the writer, Sanjeev K Jha, chose to avoid infidelity as a major sub-plot for the film, and kept it as a minor one. All in all, it does affect Manjari's presence and screen time.
