Story line –

Arya’s life changes when she is brutally gang-raped by a group of spoiled rich students from her school and two of their house helps. Her stepmother seeks justice and takes the help of a detective to teach the perpetrators a lesson. Devki, a biology teacher, seeks help from DK, a private detective, and vows to get revenge after her stepdaughter’s rapists are acquitted by the court.

Our Views- 

The movie plays Sridevi as the central character. And it is a revenge based plot seeks by the rape victim’s mother (Sridevi) on the culprits. The story is like “PINK” but this movie does not show the faults in the justice system but how a common mother seeks revenge. Regardless the differences her 18 year old daughter has with her, still that does not stop her from taking revenge for her. 

The best moments of the film are all the different ways she meets DK (Nawazuddin Siddiqui), be it in the art gallery of ‘Modern Art’ or be it at the metro station or any other place. The movie gives many messages and it focuses on how the whole family all goes through the trauma which the victim also goes through.

Thankfully there is not much melodrama unlike other typical bollywood films. And I especially liked the tactics Sridevi used to take revenge. Sridevi and Nawazuddin Siddhiqui has been flawless as ever but Akshay’s role could have given more depth being the main investigating officer of the case. 

This movie was the last movie of Sridevi and she did an outstanding job. May her soul rest in peace.
