In the film, a seemingly perfect romance between Pallavi ( Sunita Mani) and her boyfriend Sandeep ( Omar Maskati) turns into a nightmare. Based on the award-winning, best-selling Audible Original production from writer Madhuri Shekar, Evil Eye is directed by Elan Dassani and Rajeev Dassani and stars Sarita Choudhury, Sunita Mani, Omar Maskati, and Bernard White. But it was my connection to it that drew me into this week’s “Welcome to the Blumhouse” installment: Evil Eye.īut while my examples of the mal ojo to open this review are trivial, the impact of the evil eye in this film is felt across generations. While I’m Mexican, the concept of the mal ojo, or the Evil Eye has roots in many traditions across the world. And of course, you never told anyone of your successes until the ink was dry, lest the mal ojo rip them away from you. When I would stumble and drop my fries, my immediate reaction was to tell my brother that he gave me the ojo. If you complimented someone’s hair or clothes, you had to touch them to stop the ojo from spreading to them, from your jealousy affecting their blessings. Growing up, the mal ojo was something that was always talked about.
