Kaunri Kanya (English: Possessed Girl) is the first 3D Oriya horror film,[1] directed by debutant director Soumya Ranjan Sahu.[2] The film stars several debutant actors. The film was also dubbed into Tamil. It is the first Oriya film to feature an underwater sequence[3] which was shot in Vizag. While most of the shooting happened in Surangi, Ganjam, Odisha, the background score and music were done by South Indian artists Satya and Mithun. Prakruti Mishra gives a special appearance in the film.
The movie is based around the story of a doctor whose wife becomes possessed by an evil spirit. This film explores social stigmas viz. superstition, witchcraft, sorcery and belief of people on casting spells and summoning evil spirits to take girls into possession which leads to murdering of innocent people falsely accused of practicing black magic.
