Anaarkali of Aarah

A movie cannot work on only great music, or great actors or best scenic locations – It is the story that determines the success of any movie and in case of AoA, story is what makes it watchable. Based in Aarah, the movie shows the struggles that a dancer undergoes and how she fights back. Watch this inspiring movie of a dancer who fails to surrender to the society trends and demands the respect that she deserves.

It will not be an exaggeration to say that Swara might win an Award(National) for this role. The portrayal of Anaarkali as a strong woman who entices men in Aarah, and a victim who is mistreated by a minister, is simply flawless. The acting range that Swara has shown in this movie will surely be remembered for a long time and get her even more work . Sanjay & Pankaj are outstanding in their characters. Watch this one because you don't want to miss a good movie with great performance.

Guys, before you read this review, let me tell you that I am a movie junkie and I am someone who likes to watch serious cinema which has a message, a story, an inspiration. Anaarkali of Aarah is a movie by first time director Avinash- but throughout the movie, not even once you will feel that this man is new to this business- he knows his art so well that he can put other big directors to shame. Hats off to the entire team of AoA. Looking forward to your next movie.

Now that's how the variation of intensity should be shown. A perfect blend of harsh and gentle moments where the message is delivered in a wonderfully subtle way. Swara Bhaskar, the wonder woman comes out with another gem of a performance in an another gem of a movie. The lady can certainly pull any kind of role single- handedly. Avinash Das as a first-time writer and director has done a marvellous job.

The movie becomes what a director makes it. I would give the credit to Avinashji for making such a brilliant film which inspires the society. Swara Bhaskar essays the role of an erotic singer, it is easy for people to think that she is available because she is a singer but that's not the case. She fights back when an influential man misbehaves with her . Great performance and music. Overall Rating: 4 Acting: 4
