A worthless bauble. Good directors would have made 600 movies at this expense. Heavily overrated, probably the most overrated in the entire country. High time for someone to retire. Director is already overrated but for 3 films in his entire career. Background Music is annoying. Without that kind of money, marketing and hype by the team & the so-called fans, this would have suffered the deserved fatal blow. Akshay Kumar was roped in to make some more moolah i n the North and worldwide, nothing more for him to do there. Amy Jackson is somewhat a saving grace. Thank goodness the director did not give her the role of Tamil girl (like in his "I" movie!). Calls himself a director, could not even take care to see the actors' performances and lip-sync of dialogues (as usual, in his movies). This so-called social message is a known fact, and the funniest part is to look at the "message" and the producer! This cannot even be compared to Bahubali whose content was good, with good narration, good cast & performance and some good VFX though it still fell short overall. So, touting this to be India's best in VFX is hilarious. They should pay us for watching this one.

Aditi Balan - at last, someone who could really ACT without any NONSENSE, skinshow and ado. Hats off to the director Arun Prabhu for NOT making it as -yet-another-masala-entertainer-for-the-'mass'. FINE performance by ALL the cast. And the brilliant sarcasm on many of the fit-for-nothing stuff in the industry that existed before and are now !!!!! Kudos to Bindhu Malini & Vedant Bharadwaj for music that aptly portrays the sensitivity, sarcasm and thoughtfulness of the movie without jarring or being unpleasant to the eardrums.

First of all, KUDOS to the director for keeping it gore-free. And thanks to him for such a DECENT, SENSITIVE and yet POWERFUL portrayal of a real-life incident without all the unnecessary elements. OMG! the way he handled a delicate topic very effectively and efficiently!! Any other (insensitive) director would have butchered the script and screenplay. WOW! Take a (lots of) bow, the ENTIRE CREW. EXTREMELY emotional. NEVER once did the director steer away from the subject. This EASILY TOPS as the BEST movie to WATCH in the history of world cinema. I'm already using this movie as benchmark and bashing other movies that they are not up to this movie's mark! Such is the impact of this movie on me.

There is no 100/10 on IMDb. Otherwise, my rating for this movie is exactly that and may be even more because 10/10 seems to be blase after watching this movie.

Even the little boy who cries towards the end for not accompanying the girl on that day, was so powerful histrionics-wise, that I'm BOWLED over by all the performances!! SPELL-BOUND! All the 3 lead actors DESERVED an Oscar each. I will give away one to each of them, really. The music was sensitive and seamless too, without jarring your ears. And coming back to the story, I cannot believe this was an actual incident that happened.

The scene between the father and the daughter at the hospital when he tries to shift her to another room is very touching! The emotions choke you because truth is always bitter. How the community chips in to help in every which way they could, is a revelation!

And WHAT the heck do you say about the JUDGE for going "easy" on the pervert bastard?! HE should have been the first one to be beaten to death. Does not he even have the basic IQ to analyze that the pervert criminal had all the time and "sanity" of the brain to plan this and leave her to death? No matter where you are, women and children have to be careful, they cannot rest on the immoral judges or ridiculous judiciary system or the spineless police force. I could not digest the sentence or the judge's words. And what a BRAVE girl is she! HOPE she is safe, sound and happy, even after the pervert is released.
