Yup, just what I had expected. A beautiful movie with a strong social message rated low by small and conservative minds. How quaint!
Seriously, this is such as under-rated movie. All actors played their characters brilliantly. Rani, Abhishek, Konkona, Anupam Kher, and Jaya Bachan--even the villains were all too great. But hey, people have grown to love crappy Sallu bhai's movie instead of movies portraying social issues. A family of daughters only, father just a so called father, and a mother in a whirlpool of stress and responsibilities. Amidst all this, Rani takes up on a journey and a role to support her family. What she went through, and later became--was a choice given by the society, not her own. So then, who are we to judge those who opt for such measures in the times of need. One must survive. Here, a whole family survived because of her sacrifices. Chutki (Rani's younger sister) couldn't have finished her education if it wasn't for Rani's sacrifices. And, I loved that she became a supportive friend of her sister after discovering what she does for living.
Beautifully directed and performed. A movie that deserves more. A movie hard to digest for mentally-challenged-conservative individuals who refuse to be open-minded. A 5 out of 5 movie for me!
P. S. I have learned from my experience, to always watch movies with a social-message, and have a low-rating on Internet. Trust me, they always turn out to be great!
