- DirectorAvtar BhogalStarsDimple KapadiaRaj BabbarAnupam KherThis Dimple Kapadia starrer, inspired by the X-rated thriller 'I spit on your grave'; centered around a woman police officer who is gang raped in gruesome fashion - her ripped off jeans flung on the fan as testimony to the ghastly act taking place below. In the film the victim's (Dimple) trust in the judicial system is shattered when despite her testimony, justice is denied to her. She decides to punish the rapists by forming a gang of wronged women and the modus operandi is to first identify the rapists, trap him and then castrate him. The film was generously sprinkled with explicit scenes falsifying the claim of the filmmaker of an anti-rape film. Watch what happens with the court case..will she get her justice?
