Durgamati Director: G. Ashok Durgamati rating: 2.5/5 Durgamati: The Myth is a Hindi remake of director Ashok’s immensely popular 2018 Tamil-Telugu film Bhagaamathie. The experience of watching a remake in theatres and one on OTT is slightly different; especially since the audience has the opportunity to browse the original and conduct surgical scrutiny, scene-by-scene. So, to be fair to the makers and audience, here is a caveat – try and avoid comparison between the original and remake. First thing first – The story revolves around IAS officer, Chanchal Chauhan (Bhumi Pednekar) – an incorruptible officer who is currently under trial for the homicide of her fiancé. As idols of deities across temples of Madhya Pradesh are being robbed, an honest politician Ishwar Prasad (Arshad Warsi) questions his own party members. To allay fears that his move is politically motivated, he announces that he shall quit politics if the government doesn’t solve the case in 15 days. Chanchal has earlier completed two tenures as secretary under Ishwar and regards him as her mentor. Pressured by political forces, CBI appoints senior officer, Satakshi Ganguly (Mahie Gill) to dig-up or concoct a controversy against Ishwar. With the hope of finding some leads, Satakshi directs her officers to take Chanchal to a deserted mansion for questioning. However, the mansion is believed to be haunted by the ghost of Princess Durgamati, who once used to rule the region. Hereon, the audience is taken on a thrilling, bumpy ride.
