The film opens in a House of Horrors. A 21-year-old small-town girl, Kaajal Kumari, in the middle of the ride, complains to her Noida-based older cousin Dolly Yadav of an inappropriate act by the latter's husband only to be have her misgivings dismissed casually. But that is not where Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare loses its way. Its stuffed monsters and ogres are elsewhere.

Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare, a Netflix original film produced by Balaji Telefilms, could be likened to another part of the amusement park where we find Kitty spending a weekend with Dolly's family at the start of the film - the house of mirrors. It tries to capture far too many of the 'realities' surrounding a two-member sorority dealing with social and sexual conundrums and chasing fulfilment on their own terms. In doing so, it gets trapped in a maze of overlapping shadows. Too many reflections leave a fuzzy blur in their trail.
