Mardaani 2

The boy played villain role as real life Psycho teen age boys and Rani's performance is Extraordinary in 2nd Half. Film is to the point.

A lot of uncomfortable emotions were triggered in me when I watched this movie. I am a survivor of mental, emotional, and physical abuse. I imagined my abuser in Sunny's shoes in the end.The ending gave me some relief.

A man does not understand what he does to a woman when he abuses her. It scars her for life. And even in this day and age, a woman who speaks up for herself or tries to be independent should be silenced and downtrodden. This is a despicable idea of most men that I don't think will ever leave this world.

Movies like this inspire women to be independent and that's how it should be. A dependent woman does not have a voice. So please, the next time you ask your daughter to give up her job to get married, think twice. Her independence is her strength. Every human being deserves their own self-respect and independence. A woman should never be at the mercy of a man.

In 2012, a 23 year old girl was raped and brutually assaulted in a moving bus in Delhi. In 2014 Badaun gang rape case sent panick waves across the country where two Dalit girls were gang raped continuously for two days, murdered and hung from a tree. In 2019, a female doctor was abducted from a toll plaza near Hyderabad raped and later her body was burnt. These few incidents have rocked the entire nation with widespread protest since government came under pressure, highlighted by media and I am just talking few here.. there are have been innumerable rape cases which have even gone unreported. We always wonder what goes into the mind of a rapist and this where Mardaani 2 comes into play.

Mardaani 2 is a cat-and-mouse game where a ruthless rapist and killer challenges Shivani Shivaji Roy to catch him after every murder and even gives her the clue on his next move

From the writer of Mardaani, Gopi Puhtran takes the director's seat this time. Like Mardaani which focussed on the drug racket and child trafficking, Mardaani 2 tells the true story of rape incidents which is very much existing in India. Hats off to him for creating niche drama with well-written screenplay that will keep glued on to the screen till the end. Cinematography is just about okay. Art direction is natural. Background score is bad which could have been better Writing was definitely better but I felt the character of Rani Mukerji was somehow always proactive in reading criminal's mind.

Editing adds crispiness to the pace. Mardaani belongs to queen of hearts - Rani Mukerji. The supremely talented actress is mind blowing with her punches and fiery dialogues. Vishal Jethwa will surprise you as the psychopath killer who thinks a woman should be shown no mercy when they cross their limit. He is definitely a talent to watch out for.

Mardaani 2 is not easy watch but it will expose the harsh reality of the current situation with a strong message. Go for it ... Very good 3.5/5

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 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..
