Sherni

Good movie... Very realistic no heroic or fake action...

Review By Kamal K

It really shows the true situation of the forest department and how politics influence or rather interfere with it, Vidya shines as always Vijay Raaz is the perfect, overall team has done well. Sherni has almost everything but lacks what a good film must have - moments of "cinematic" brilliance where you feel emotionally moved & stirred but cannot explain why. That's the beauty of any good art work. Newton did that so well but not this one.

Extremely detailed, well acted, realistic camera movements - all were there but the poetry and poignancy was missing which made this film maybe a good documentation of our forest , wildlife, people , government procedures etc but failed to make it a good "CINEMA".

Respect others opinion but personally I loved the movie. I know its not a movie with lots of drama, twists and turns as we are fed to expect. However its very realistic and makes you feel sad for the few sincere officers and our national treasures i.e., wildlife and forest. Thanks Vidya and the makers of the movie. Loved Brijendra kala, Vijay Raaz and Sharat. Excellent cast and performances and took me back to the forest. Love love it. Ignore the negativity and watch for yourselves!!

Story: A tiger has turned aadamkhor (man eater), what will be its fate. It also shows the politics surrounding. To be precise, the people from gram, the authorities, the illegal poacher and the politicians along with opposition.

Cinematography: Justified. The jungle's, the farms, the plantation environment, the animals, the dry water holder, the thin river, etc. Stand worth a watch. The only thing that made me chuckle were the tiger paws, I mean so clear (appear obviously constructed), but then I might be a noob.

Direction: Above average. The story is not that complicated or politics ridden. It has been nicely directed with all its elements. By not that complicated I mean you can understand it by skipping half of the content. I would not recommend that but it's what so is.

Acting (& music): Average. The casting done is what is to be appreciated like most of the movies, TV series released in recent times.

Final Verdict: You should definitely give the movie a try if you have free time. You won't be disappointed.

Sherni has an extraordinary premise and it delivers it's points pretty well.

Vidya balan is outstanding in her role, so do the other cast. Cinematography and sound department does a splendid job. Worth watching.
