The horror-comedy Roohi recently had a theatrical release in March. The film did relatively well at the box office, considering the threat of the pandemic is still very much existent. However, with most states going under weekend lockdowns and imposing night curfews, watching movies in theatres will become quite challenging if not impossible. The current situation has many fans who didn't get to watch the movie asking the question, "Is Roohi on Netflix?"

Roohi, initially named Rooh Afza, is a horror-comedy tale about two small-town boys Bhaura, played by Rajkummar Rao, and Kattanni, played by Varun Sharma, who are reporters for a local news channel and work for the goon Guny Bhai. The duo's lives are turned upside down when they have to abduct a girl named Roohi in order to get her married. However, they find themselves stuck in a forest with her.
