Mardaani 2

Just saw Mardaani 2. I am shaken and can't believe the horrors some girls have gone through in our society. It is one of the best movies of this year. Hats off to Rani Mukerji. She has given her heart and soul to the character of Shivani Shivaji Roy. The young actor who plays the villain is PHENOMENAL. Other actors also add life to their respective roles. The story keeps you on the edge of the seat throughout the film. Such films should be seen on big screen so that Indian producers come out with more such hard-hitting and thought-provoking films. STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.

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

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

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..
