Anaarkali of Aarah

This movie is a great combination of talent and a good storyline. The three lead actors Swara Bhaskar, Sanjay Mishraji & Pankaj Tripathi have done a fabulous job. The most astonishing thing is that the director of this movie Avinash, does not seem like a first time director- his command over his art is superb and there is not doubt that he is one of the directors to look forward to. Overall Movie Rating: 4 Music Score :4

Acting:4 Direction: 4.5

A movie cannot work on only great music, or great actors or best scenic locations – It is the story that determines the success of any movie and in case of AoA, story is what makes it watchable. Based in Aarah, the movie shows the struggles that a dancer undergoes and how she fights back. Watch this inspiring movie of a dancer who fails to surrender to the society trends and demands the respect that she deserves.

It will not be an exaggeration to say that Swara might win an Award(National) for this role. The portrayal of Anaarkali as a strong woman who entices men in Aarah, and a victim who is mistreated by a minister, is simply flawless. The acting range that Swara has shown in this movie will surely be remembered for a long time and get her even more work . Sanjay & Pankaj are outstanding in their characters. Watch this one because you don't want to miss a good movie with great performance.

Guys, before you read this review, let me tell you that I am a movie junkie and I am someone who likes to watch serious cinema which has a message, a story, an inspiration. Anaarkali of Aarah is a movie by first time director Avinash- but throughout the movie, not even once you will feel that this man is new to this business- he knows his art so well that he can put other big directors to shame. Hats off to the entire team of AoA. Looking forward to your next movie.

You have to watch this movie to know why I say this. The movie is simple yet so striking in its subject. It's not like this is the first movie on women empowerment but the way the same message has been sent out is worth appreciating. Avinashji understands the nuances of the character and the way he has directed the movie shows that he is master of this art. I have rated this movie as follows: Direction: 4 Acting:4 Music Score :3.5
