Halal

The biggest irony while writing the review of this film made me realize that the happenings of Instant Divorce is today considered to be an criminal offence.

The film revolves around a couple, were the husband in a fit of rage instantly divorces his wife. As per the customs, to remarry the wife has to undergo a Nikah halala (for the lady to remarry her first husband, the lady has to marry another man, consumate it and attain the divorce from her 2nd Husband) . Rest of the film shows whether the lady intends to remarry her first husband or remain happily married with her new husband.

The negative aspect of the film was the alien customs that they had shown in the film, was difficult for the non follower of the religion a bit difficult to understand, due to which it felt a bit slow towards the 2nd half of the film. Otherwise the performance from its protagonist (comprising of ever reliable Chinmay Mandlekar & Priyadarshan Jadhav along with its female protagonsit Pritam Kagne) was first rate along with its well complimented supporting actors. The rustic village dropback was also well shown in the film. Overall, it is a strict one time watch, with the performance of the main cast to be taken into notice. (A web series in an app named Ullu, had shown a series on the same subject)
