Shrikant Sathe ( Swwapnil Joshi) a widower takes his seven year old son Mandar ( Samarth Jadhav) to a hospital , after his son faints on the cricket ground during a match. At this hospital, during his medical diagnosis, Mandar comes across Bhaskar a boy of his age, who is undergoing treatment for cancer. It is at this place Mandar learns about a mystery woman Elizabeth, from Bhaskar. Like Bhaskar, Mandar also starts believing that Elizabeth who lives in the next old building in the hospital campus, would only cure his ailment.
Mandar reveals the secret of Elizabeth to his father and insists that he should meet her. To make his son happy, Shrikant goes in search of Elizabeth in the adjacent building and discovers something strange. In the meanwhile Dr. Alisha Shenoy ( Pooja Sawant) who attends Mandar in the hospital, in absence of her ailing father, gets ready for Mandar’s operation. It is at this stage, Shrikant discovers the mystery behind Elizabeth and involvement of people in her case.
‘Bali’ (बळी) as the name suggests, does succeed in presenting a gripping screenplay, but there are few flaws in the film. However, the efforts taken by director Vishal Furia to present this suspense filled thriller under the cover of horror, are worth appreciating. Above all, the performances by Swwapnil, Pooja and little Samarth certainly add extra strength to this film with the support of good cinematography by Rajan Sohani and suitable background music by Rajan Patnail and Brince Bora.
For a change, ‘Bali’ is a worth watch film, provided you are not watching this film with very high expectations from this director. Produced by Arjun Singgh Baran and Kartik Nishandar this film Is released on Amazon Prime Video.
