Gargi (2022) :
Brief Review -
This is how a modern feminine classic looks like, not those vulgar, abusive, and sexually explicit dramas. Sai Pallavi's best role and film to date. I have seen some directors (including female ones) trying to make feminine dramas and give some social messages, but how many of them are actually good and meaningful? This is my chance to bash those sexually explicit and vulgar feminine dramas that usually talk about sexual freedom, age-gaps, and hormone changes. I won't name them, but I am sure smart movie lovers know them, and unfortunately, most of them belong to Bollywood. Gargi has come to slap them all, especially female directors who think that having freedom of sex and extramarital affairs is called true feminism. Gargi is a hard-hitting drama and somewhat of a thriller, with strong emotions and meaningful feminism at its core. There are many films in India on rapes, gang rapes, and child abuse, but believe me, there is none like Gargi. This is a new landmark in feminine classics. This is how you make a modern-day classic without using any sort of vulgarity, adultery, skin-show, or abuse. This is a seminar for families. This is how you showcase true womanhood without using powerful and filmy quotes. Sai Pallavi has given a career best performance and, for me, this is her best film to date. The film throws light on a sensitive topic like child rape, and it does not hammer it through cinematic liberty. This is the simplest form of hard-hitting, brutal film without being 'realistic' (this is what they call those craps nowadays). No matter if you are a male or female, just make sure you watch it with your father, mother, and child (son or daughter). There is something for everyone, because rapes don't happen in the neighbourhood only. Sometimes your house is a neighbourhood for someone. A Must See!
RATING - 8/10*
