About this listen
Evil Eye garnered an Audie Award for Original Work in 2020.
Usha is convinced that the Evil Eye, a curse that brings continuous misfortune, was cast upon her daughter, Pallavi, in the womb. What else could have possibly left her driven, career-oriented daughter edging closer and closer to 30 without a prospective husband? Determined to set Pallavi on the right path, Usha arranges date after date with potential suitors - but after yet another setup fails, it seems her efforts are proving fruitless. But in an unexpected turn of events, Pallavi becomes her own matchmaker when she meets - and quickly falls for - Sandeep, a young Indian-American entrepreneur. And though she expects her mother will be elated with her finally finding a man, Pallavi is distraught and confused to find her mother growing increasingly suspicious of Sandeep’s motives...and his true identity.
Told through a series of phone calls and voicemails, this Audible Original penned by award-winning rising star playwright Madhuri Shekar transitions seamlessly from a light-hearted family dramedy to an unexpectedly supernatural thriller. With an endearing cast of well-rounded characters, sharp, natural dialogue, and a shocking edge-of-your-seat climax, Evil Eye is a can’t-miss tale about cultural miscommunications, family secrets, and the lingering echoes of trauma.
Playwright Madhuri Shekar was awarded a commission through the Audible Emerging Playwrights Fund, an initiative dedicated to developing innovative original plays driven by language and voice. As an Audible commissioned playwright, she received funding and creative support to develop Evil Eye.
Please note: This audio contains strong language, distressing situations, and descriptions of abuse and violence that some listeners may find upsetting. Discretion is advised.
Now available in Dolby Atmos on Audible.

Writing well to hold my attention
I enjoyed this book, it was written so differently that I was held and carried into the storyline right to the end.
Really enjoyable read.

Good drama, with reservations
Most of it works very well. The phone call format is great. It builds psychologically… but the ‘violent ending’ (breaking the phone call format) didnt really work, especially as it was confusing in the audio format. From there I lost interest. Still well worth a listen. 90% works.

Would recommend
Fantastic performance and story. Would recommend it for anyone who enjoys psychological thrillers. Story presented through calls and voicemails — unique and interesting way to tell a story

Outstanding. True art. This is audiobooks at its very best.
The script writing and narration were captivating. The cast brought the text to life. The narrators were cast perfectly. The voices were very fitting for each character. The narrators swept me into the world of this audio book immediately. The flow was compelling and easy to understand as the story moved from one chapter to the next. I loved it so much that I listened to it a second time with my mother. She enjoyed it as much as I did. I would highly recommend this audio book.

Interesting concept
Story was written in such a refreshingly and interesting manner
Kept me captivated wanting more except for the conclusion which was very anticlimactic and disappointing
The story ended very abruptly and felt as if I slept through and missed the last chapters never knowing what happened in the end
