    Masterful ...

    A sad and disgusting film, but so real, that it gives one repulsion, an unprecedented disgust, so much that bothers and hurts the mud in one film, rape of a little girl, the performance of the police officer responsible for the investigation, disgusting, he wanting see the victim's private parts, cornering the whole family, the rapist with impunity, the film was of a raw and masterful perfection, everything raw, strong, hurts, hurts, and the end, it doesn't wash the soul, but softens the anger... Masterful ...

    NOT FOR THE WEAK

    This film perfectly showed us what should be done to a rapist. It is not for the faint hearted as it's very much disturbing. Devashish Makhija & Cinematographer Jishnu Bhattacharjee have done a splendid job.

    Performances of all are simply superb. Even the little girl (Sharvani Suryavanshi) acted so brilliantly. Abhishek Banerjee gave one of his career best performance, Vikas Kumar is always underappreciated and of course Sushma Deshpande will blow your mind away.

    DON'T MISS THIS ONE.

    Very Dark and Real

    The Screenplay is perfect. You are anticipating the ultimate revenge. The practice is shown beautifully. An Old woman plans and executes a perfect revenge. However there were a lot of aspects to this gritting tale. The film makes you cringe on the actions of the characters and leaves you with an impact . It is not for the fainthearted and there are moments that will make your stomach churn and you will really need a lot of patience to watch certain scenes. Well executed.

    A ultimate revenge thriller

    Watch it for the maturity of the Indian cinema, watch it if you want to watch a movie made in India by the someone like Quentin Jerome Tarantino caliber, watch it if you want to taste the real caliber of the Indian Cinema, Watch it if you thick Indian cinema is behind Hollywood by a long margin...... but pls watch it.... more than worth it.
