Director: Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury
Genre: Drama



A rather confused drama, not hitting any correct nerve of the society!



You may look forward to:


There is really nothing much to look forward to, its just safer to watch it with expectations low




What you can sleep over:


  • After long, one such role played by Amitabh Bachchan which looks very mediocre. A disarranged personality who is not in his mental stability nor speech for 75% of the duration of the film, suddenly becomes a roaring lawyer in the last part of the film, that too after his wife's death, difficult to digest
  • I expected a little more from Tapsee Pannu, she disappoints too. Nevertheless, she pulls the film more or less on her shoulders
  • All the other actors did a fine job, no one really faltered in terms of acting




The dampeners you should be aware of: 


What can be termed as the biggest failure of this film, is that it badly missed its target to a social message. The screenplay and dialogue delivery was not hard hitting at all. All through the movie i kept waiting for aggression or the punch, but it just never came. On that the confusing plot in the first one hour of the film, trying to give it an angle of a thriller didnt quite pan out appropriately
The screenplay is in itself very weak, i am still in delusion what exactly did the maker try to highlight with this film, but i am guessing the maker tried to emphasize an intricate issue on how even as yet the Indian society cant accept that women can live the same lifestyle as men, and that rape alone is not always a conclusion! If that is so, the screenplay fails again....a plot which is so half baked where the women are shown if not equally wrong but is wrong in showing maturity for the age group described in the film and then create a weak case against the men. The half baked story is extremely delusional and doesn't clear any air on the subject of the film. There were genuine cases on women with all maturity doing what is right while living a modern lifestyle and going to pubs with colleagues and yet roofied and molested by the men most unanticipated. That is a strong case to debate upon and not stupid actions in an already unsafe city like Delhi
The screenplay doesn't even cover appropriate process of investigations, no phone records of harassment by the men to the ladies ever tracked, no proper evidence either in proving the lady officer back dated the complaint neither a confession, just a theory for all! And many other examples like that! Extremely poor case and even more poorer execution. In short very very bore!





My Rating: 2/5
