Best movie of this year hands down!
The Worst Film Ever
Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Blistering performances.
I first saw this in a theatre with my dad n son. Revisited it recently on a dvd. It is a solid crime thriller. Rani Mukherjee pulled of the job of a cop very well. The direction, editing n script was tight n superb. The fight sequences were good too. People may find similarities with Trade (2007) n Taken (2008).
I watch a lot of British, American, Swedish, French and other foreign films, but this surpassed them all. It is possibly the best film I have seen in years and I congratulate all the people who were involved in making it. It is about an awful subject that is becoming a worse problem everyday, it's even taking over from drugs as the biggest crime. It shows what a terrible, cruel world we live in and nobody seems to care, or be able to stop it The lead lady was superb and real inspiration for woman all over the world. Woman are still treated as second class citizens in so many countries and I really feel for them. If I could I would wave a magic wand and stop all the suffering going on in the world today, but I know it doesn't work like that. Watch this film and if you have money give lots and lots to charities trying to help these women and other people in dire situations.
The treatment of women empowerment in the Indian celluloid is an age old practice.From Nargis in Mother India, through Dimple in Zakhmi Aurat, Zeenat in Insaaf Ka Tarazu, Susmita Sen in Samay, Madhuri in Anjam, Raveena in Daman...they all proved one thing- it takes more than muscle to emphasize power. Under the recent light of the movie, Mardani that literally means "manlike" or more philosophically "like a man", once again we see a woman challenging the age old concept of feminine docility. One who dares to challenge a man in a man's world. Rani Mukherjee sets some "dabang"of her own as she adapts a man like stature, WITHOUT losing her feminine oomph. I am so glad, I didn't see any bolywood gimmicks like- rushing the streets in a "dhoom" like haze or cross the rail tracks like in "kick". But most importantly I am blessed there are no "bharat Ki Nari" dialogs. The things I liked about the movie - compact story line, crisp dialogs, down to earth sequences and NO SONGS. Even when she is in an emotional turmoil, the protagonist handle the situation "like a man"...with no quiver in her voice...while a roll of tear drops down her white marble cheeks. Rani looks like a million bucks and performs like a duchess....Yes, when war becomes personal all bets are off. And when vultures are eying your kids and home...you need to have courage to gut them. My heart sank at the atrocity and menace of the flesh trade. How a simple act of enjoying eating a panipuri can drag you into the kingdom of darkness...yes like the protagonist and the makers of the movie "Mardani" I am scared and scarred for the rest of my life...into the nightmares of flesh trade and human trafficking.
One of the best movie i have watched firstly i thought it would be boring or casual same film like others, but after watching this its really good Rani Mukerji(Shivani Shivaji Roy) acting was superb its a great film for all the youths everybody should watch this. In this film Shivani Shivaji Roy, a dedicated and brave police officer with Mumbai Police, chases a Delhi-based kingpin, Karan Rastogi, who runs an organized crime cartel involving child trafficking and drugs.Her aim is to hunt him down and rescue a young teen girl, Pyari after that all secret do watch. :P The film showed how girls are treated what's there future, its very good film i suggest all of u to watch this.. :)
