“Evil Eye” (*** out of four) was an engrossing melodrama about a superstitious and overly protective mother (Sarita Choudhury) who becomes increasingly convinced that her daughter’s (Sunita Mani) new boyfriend (Bernard White) is the reincarnation of an abusive boyfriend she murdered 30 years ago. Are her premonitions real or is she losing her mind? Stylish and suspenseful story consistently doges cliches, thanks to strong performances all around especially from newcomer Mani who is superb.
