Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Piecean Glory The treatment of women empowerment in the Indian celluloid is an age old practice.From Nargis in Mother India, through Dimple in Zakhmi Aurat, Zeenat in Insaaf Ka Tarazu, Susmita Sen in Samay, Madhuri in Anjam, Raveena in Daman...they all proved one thing- it takes more than muscle to emphasize power. Under the recent light of the movie, Mardani that literally means "manlike" or more philosophically "like a man", once again we see a woman challenging the age old concept of feminine docility. One who dares to challenge a man in a man's world. Rani Mukherjee sets some "dabang"of her own as she adapts a man like stature, WITHOUT losing her feminine oomph. I am so glad, I didn't see any bolywood gimmicks like- rushing the streets in a "dhoom" like haze or cross the rail tracks like in "kick". But most importantly I am blessed there are no "bharat Ki Nari" dialogs. The things I liked about the movie - compact story line, crisp dialogs, down to earth sequences and NO SONGS. Even when she is in an emotional turmoil, the protagonist handle the situation "like a man"...with no quiver in her voice...while a roll of tear drops down her white marble cheeks. Rani looks like a million bucks and performs like a duchess....Yes, when war becomes personal all bets are off. And when vultures are eying your kids and home...you need to have courage to gut them. My heart sank at the atrocity and menace of the flesh trade. How a simple act of enjoying eating a panipuri can drag you into the kingdom of darkness...yes like the protagonist and the makers of the movie "Mardani" I am scared and scarred for the rest of my life...into the nightmares of flesh trade and human trafficking.

silvan-desouza Rani Mukherjee has been trying a comeback since ages, her last film TALAASH got her good reviews and did well yet she needed a big comeback, her career earlier was ruined due to her continuous films only with Yashraj banner for obvious reasons many which flopped. Pradeep Sarkar too makes a comeback after LAAGA CHUNARI MEIN DAAG which was a flop, that film too spoke on prostitution. MARDAANI however is a good film, we have seen women oriented cop films before but the child abuse aspect is brilliantly handled, the film does seem inspired from TAKEN(2008) though not much. The cat and mouse game is superb while the end though filmy is well handled.The film has lot of abuses and skin show(not much) but yet it suits the theme Thankfully there is no romance in the film, only 1 song towards the end too and the going ons are kept quite realistic except at timesDirection is goodRani Mukherjee is superb in her role and nails it, Bhisu Sengupta as her hubby is good, Taahir Bhasin is superb as the villain, rest are all good, including Mona Ambedgaonkar
