Moshari is unlike anything else you have seen, It dwells on the complex relationship of Bengalis and their mosharis. It explores the idea that it can be both something that keeps us safe and something that suffocates us. The horror elements centering around the moshari are something we have all felt but never seen on screen. Nuhash brings all these emotions come to life. A representation of something that’s so dear to us shown in such cinematic excellence is surely commendable.
