Review
------
"Pradeep Sarkar is no doubt a proficient story teller. He has
managed to bring to light the struggle of a woman to make a
living in the cruel and demanding society with maturity and
precision. The first half of the movie is told crisp but it gets
a little dramatic in the second half. The transformation in Badki
s character evolves with time and reason. Not only that, Badki s
character is expressed in the most convincing and touching way
that we tend to care deeply for her. Especially when her mom asks
her not to visit home because the town would end up speaking ill
of them, made me feel deeply for her. Cinematography is
first-rate. The locale of Banaras is beautifully. Music is
excellent blending well with the storyline and comes from the
same team of Parineeta. Rani Mukherjee is matchless. She delivers
yet another award winning performance. Her best performance since
Black. The role gives her immense to exhibit a gamut of
emotions and she carries it out outstandingly. Konkona Sen Sharma
looks dazzling in the movie. Her performance in the movie was
top-notch and is sure to fetch her good reviews and lots of
praises. Jaya Bachchan is flawless. Anupam Kher is first-rate.
Kunal Kapoor as Vivaan is good. He manages to perform his act
well and appears natural. Abhishek Bachchan as Rohan is just OK.
