  • Summary

  • Buri Nazar is an Audible Original thriller starring Sayani Gupta, Rithvik Dhanjani, and Supriya Pathak Kapur. Usha (Supriya Pathak Kapur) is convinced that the Evil Eye, a curse that brings continuous misfortune, was cast upon her daughter, Pallavi (Sayani Gupta), in the womb. What else could have possibly left her driven, career-oriented daughter edging closer and closer to 30 without a prospective husband? Determined to set Pallavi on the right path, Usha arranges date after date with potential suitors, but after yet another setup fails, it seems her efforts are proving fruitless. But in an unexpected turn of events, Pallavi becomes her own matchmaker when she meets and quickly falls for Sandeep (Rithvik Dhanjani), a young Indian-American entrepreneur. And though she expects her mother will be elated with her finally finding a man, Pallavi is distraught and confused to find her mother growing increasingly suspicious of Sandeep’s motives…and his true identity. Told through a series of phone calls and voicemails, this Audible Original penned by award-winning playwright Madhuri Shekar, and adapted into Hindi by Noopur Sinha, transitions seamlessly from a light-hearted family dramedy to an unexpectedly supernatural thriller. With an endearing cast of well-rounded characters, sharp, natural dialogue, and a shocking edge-of-your-seat climax, Buri Nazar is a can’t-miss tale about cultural miscommunications, family secrets, and the lingering echoes of trauma.

A Perfect amalgamation of thriller and emotion

Usually thriller podcasts happen to be quite pulpy in content. But that's not the case with this. The writer has brilliantly blended supernatural, reincarnation, misogyny, abuse, love bombing into a 6 episode podcast. Going beyond the supernatural, the series explores the trauma, fears, uncertainties that a mother feels for her daughter who has given her a new life but is also intricately attached to her dark past. And what brilliant performances. Sayani Gupta shows the vulnerability that's makes you root for her. Supriya Pathak is outstanding and, irrespective of the context, I guess every mother out there would relate to her feelings. Ritwick has really surprised me with voice modulation. He right fully carries the mysterious menacing toxic man who firstly showers love and then shows his true colors. Girls need to stay away from such guys. However, the last episode lacked clarity, so deducting that one star for that. Overall, a listen-worthy podcast
