The story of an Indian women caught up in the cruelty of the Islamic State. With its barbaric treatment of women, would have been great, had it not been for the film director failing to properly direct the movie''s star.
In the first part of the film, Nushrratt Bharuccha utter fails to rise to the challenge of portraying and expressing emotions. Her acting is fake and unconvincing. Her face when the scene calls for showing pain, distress and anxiety is very poorly acted, in fact her mimic and facial expression are at best that of a trauma student who has failed the second course in drama school. It just is overacted, put on, and unconvincing. Having a very pretty face is is no substitute for great acting, which a serious film, such as this one, calls for. It is a great pity that the director was not able to bring out a better performance from Nushrratt Bharuccha.
