Mardaani 2

Please go and watch, instead of watching Dabang 3.

One terrible mistake they did is breaking the fourth wall. While its important for the director that the audience like the protagonist sufficiently to persist with the story but in this film our psychopath is a sadistic rapist n I doubt any audience may like him.

Saw this last nite on Amazon Prime. This time our cop is transferred to a place where a sadistic, vicious serial rapist who attacks men, women, and children with equal brutality is on the prowl. Surprisingly our killer is a professional contract killer too. The background story is shocking n dreadful. The killer's ugly past and his profound violent nature with a face of an innocent chap may shock some viewers. Rani Mukherjee did a nice job but her boots n facial rouge were a bit unconvincing for a cop's role.

While the the 1st part is a solid crime thriller with lots of tension n suspense throughout, this one is dark n grisly.

One of the best part about this one is that the enjoyment of the film depends on sympathy with its theme of female empowerment.

Mardaani is no Singham. Nor does it intend to become one. It is in many ways a realistic portrayal of how women or girls are still treated in our society- be she an IPS officer or a college goer. In no single shot, the director wants the protagonist to become a larger than life character and there lies the victory of the movie. However, as you expect, peoples respect for this movie has been subdued . Had this character been played by Akshay INDIA Kumar or Ajay Devgan or Ranbeer Singh, it would have been surely a blockbuster. Does not matter much, though. For us who crave for good Hindi movies, the second installment of the franchise brings fresh breeze, new rays hope. Rani Mukherjee is restrained in the lead role and her portrayal of the vulnerability even a female cop faces in her field of work lifts the spirit of the movie. In certain scenes, she is just unbeatable. Vishal Jethwa as the cold blooded killer and rapist just steals the show. He makes his character so believable that you actually start hating the character. All other characters do justice to their roles, however minute they are. Gopi Puthran creates a one of its kind Hindi serial killer movie with a brilliant panache. The way he restricts the emotional outflow of the movie deserves special mention. This is a must watch if you want a fresh breath amidst the mediocrity of the Hindi movies around. But be cautioned, this is not a War or your regular ego or emotion booster flick. Thumbs up to the brilliant effort in creating a spine chilling movie.

Mardaani 2

Ever since I heard about Mardaani's sequel, I had great expectations coz of the only one lady, Rani Mukerji and i had some regrets that I missed Mardaani in theaters and decided to watch it in theaters on its first day. The cat and mouse game between the fierce cop Shivani Roy and a serial killer who loves to rape, torture and kills young girls. He is wild, cunning beastly and unpredictable behaviour with a dark past and is on run. Will Shivani succeeds in her mission forms the crux of the story.

Well, the fast paced narration and the background score keeps you engaged in this gritty thriller. The performances of the lead and the sub characters were sumptuous. Once again, Rani didn't disappoint me, she has got the right attittude as the SP Shivani Roy and was very convincing. But the debutante Vishal Jethwa stole the whole show. He was absolutely magnificent. The character was well constructed might be inspired from Korean Serial Killer Movies.

Gopi Puthren directorial debut didn't go in vain but his scripted demanded more justification of several scenes which will make us to think, "How did he??" "Is it possible". Could have avoided those when compared to Mardaani which was very raw, unpredictable and more intense. Another plus point of the movie was there were no songs and John Stewart Eduri scored the background music of the movie and it took the movie to another level. Jishnu Bhattacharjee's camera was also an added advantage even though it was not challenging.

Female empowerment / feminine speech (was good) delivered by Rani Mukerji which took around 5 minutes during the tension gripped scenes. Wrongly placed. That was actually a speed breaker and it was predictable towards the end.

All in whole, Mardaani 2 is a gripping thriller drama and watch out for Vishal Jethwa, a new star in the rising.

Mardaani or Mardaani 2.. I will definitely go for Mardaani..

The visual are so real that it haunts you somewhere in the show The villian played by vishal jethwa is extraordinary
