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.
Anaarkali of Aarah is one movie that will remain with you even after you leave the theatre. What stunning performance by Swara Bhaskar, Sanjay Mishraji & Pankaj Tripathi. These actors have continuously proved their mettle & never fail to amaze us with their acting nuances. An impactful story, great direction & honest efforts are few things that make this movie watchable. Direction : 4/5 Acting : 3.5/5 Music : 3/5
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.
The movie becomes what a director makes it. I would give the credit to Avinashji for making such a brilliant film which inspires the society. Swara Bhaskar essays the role of an erotic singer, it is easy for people to think that she is available because she is a singer but that's not the case. She fights back when an influential man misbehaves with her . Great performance and music. Overall Rating: 4 Acting: 4
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
