Atal Faisla REVIEW
Magow-Intermean8 September 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Nandu (Sahil Akhtar) falls in love with Radha and wants to marry her but cannot do it due to the two decades old rivalry between their villages. Local strongman Cheena Ram (Rajan Modi) from one of the villages adds fuel to the fire and works towards harming Radha and her sister. Nandu and Radha both have to fight against traditions to have a shot at a normal life as man and wife. The only credible element of the film is that it exposes the hypocrisy and the patriarchy inherent in the panchayat system which exists in India. Also worth mentioning is how the film shows that if a woman stands for what she believes in, she can shake up social structures. But all this is explained through a montage of poorly crafted scenes, a thoroughly muddled editing job and the sound, which is out of sync for more than a third of the movie's runtime.

Besides Sheetal Kale as Radha, no other performances stand out. There are way too many songs, a majority of which are item numbers and cheesy party songs which makes you wonder about the filmmakers' idea of women empowerment. To go out and watch the film or not is an 'Atal Faisla' one can easily make.
