Before I change my mind let me tell you my stars for the movie 3 1/2
Why would I change my mind?
Because it is a reluctant must watch.
A movie where you better not be having popcorns while Sridevi comes on the screen because you will for certain choke . She is that brilliant . And this coming from someone whose only good impression of the actor is a rare Sadma or Chaalbaaz or the more recent English Vinglish .
But here she gives you goosebumps and in case you think those spectacles are steaming up they are actually involuntary tears rolling down
A docile but friendly teacher and mother , loving younger one , a normal life with a kind husband and a rather disconnected step daughter.
When something disturbs this linear life it is upto the mother to step up and hold up a light to justice
The story is not surprising and to an extent cliched and yet you dare not move your attention away from the excellence in acting
Ensemble that pervades the screen
And as for the sort of Justice meted it you no doubt wonder if it is the only way to treat the diseased minds in our country that is a threat to the welfare of the fairer sex
In the meantime you really wait for what's next with the protagonist . Way to go is all I a new fan can say to Sridevi. Bravo !
