The movie is based on a true story which was the first reason i saw this film. Aishwarya Rai has performed well in the role of Kiran.
The story educates one of the atrocities that can happen to a woman and her fight to claim the justice that is initially denied to her cause she was ashamed to discuss the abuse that she suffered.
The movie looks like a low budget movie and the screenplay or the camera-work may not fascinate you. The movie is based on facts and stays true to its original content.
See the movie for its content and the message it wants to convey to the society.
