Very engaging, realistic ,good movie. Acting, camera , script and Direction super.
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.

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".

What works : Jungles, Satire and Vidya of course.
What doesn't : Story gets slow at times but does keep us hooked.
First off, it's not a thriller considering the concept of catching a tiger. It's a battle between 2 thought process.
One, who wants to save the tiger.
Second, who wants to add 1 more kill to his list.
And in between, there is corruption, politics, egoes and a hard hitting message of Wildlife conservation and environmental balance.
Jungles are shot beautifully. The local dialect would be loved.
A good break from watching movies based on urban India with actors flaunting 6 Packs.
Vidya is amazing as always. She is the real Sherni here with her facial expressions speaking more than she does.
Vijay Raaj would be as much loved as Sharat Saxena would be hated.
Rest of the crew does good too.
A decent 1 time watch.
