Pari intelligently slips in socio-political commentary, addressing the Bangladesh refugee crisis. The underlying message that the film tries to bring home is that one’s identity is not dictated by boundaries laid down either by humans, nature or even the supernatural. One may not realise the film’s symbolic relevance while watching it, given its immersive treatment, but it does offer a resolution.

Pari should’ve been more entertaining and less confusing. Although it has some terrifying scenes and a couple of heartwarming ones, those are simply not enough. The film will not be able to reach even the average mark mainly because it does not leave the audience satisfied. It will entail losses.
