Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Kodie Bird True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

mayurdeepz Okie let me come straight to the point. I have read a lot of reviews where all people have talked about is what Aishwarya Rai did in the movie. For me any modern day actress could have pulled it off as good as she did or may be even better. It is the shock value that worked for many as they did not see it coming (read Aishwarya minus the plastic glam). If I was Naveen Andrews I would have been kicking myself for doing this movie. He is way too talented and looked like doing a favour to the makers by accepting the role.The story had all the ingredients of becoming an earth shattering revolutionary drama. What instead it ended up being is neither a documentary nor a drama. It is true that the makers wanted to stick to the truth and do justice to the book (I have not read it). While trying to achieve that they forgot what viewers were there for. There was no soul behind any scene. No character development. I could not connect to Kiranjit's pain. Art direction looked dated. Dialogues esp. in the courtroom and jail scenes sounded very amateurish.It had possibly the worst ending with the protagonist looking straight into the camera and delivering a preachy speech. That is the last thing the enterprise needed. Overall a below average product which leaves an awkward taste that one usually gets after biting into any half baked stale food.

virindra Was this a Bollywood story in English? Where does it go with the Bollywood movies? It's not Indian anymore. This story is about a woman who gets beat up by her husband, and kills him for that. She goes into prison.This should be a true story, but is not believable because of the worse acting and appearance of Aishwaria. Aish's acting is horrible! Besides that, the language spoken is English. But I could not understand some people because they were talking not clearly. Like the boss of the police. When he talks, even the subtitles don't understand what the guy is saying. And the dutch subtitles in Bollywood movies are very bad. I think they are translated by a computer or something.Every time when Aishwaria Rai is saying; "I'm sorry", the subtitles say; "I'm sad". It does not make any sense. Even the English subtitles are not correct.Okay, I cannot judge a movie by the subtitles, because in most bollywood movie the subtitles don't work proper. The way the movie is made makes women who watch the movie wonder to kill her husbands when they hit them even once.Or when a husband shouts at his wife once, he should hide all candles and matches, otherwise he gets burnt. Like all women are victims. And so what if you kill your husband? Prison life is great! You meet a lot of female friends who will help you climb up your way to get free. Because when your husband hits you, you must not run away, no, you must kill him! Come on! Who made up this crap? And why do independent women have short hair like men? The woman who wants to fight for Aish's rights, has short hair. She is not female because she does a man's job? The should have given her role to Aishwaria and vice versa. But the other woman is not a celebrity and not pretty with short hair. That fact is in her way for fame. Yes, she cannot act, but Aishwaria cannot act either. She is only pretty like the horrible actress Priyanka Chopra.In Bollywood there is one major thing; if you know the right people in your family, then you will become famous in movies. It doesn't matter if you can act or not.

saur-78 The movie is based on a true story which was the first reason i saw this film. Aishwarya Rai has performed well in the role of Kiran. The story educates one of the atrocities that can happen to a woman and her fight to claim the justice that is initially denied to her cause she was ashamed to discuss the abuse that she suffered.The movie looks like a low budget movie and the screenplay or the camera-work may not fascinate you. The movie is based on facts and stays true to its original content. See the movie for its content and the message it wants to convey to the society.

ig_ilangovan This movie based on true story grips you from the very beginning and though there are enough light moments even in Jail, it just doesn't let go anytime.... By now, everyone knows the story is that of a woman stuck in an abusive marriage finds her freedom in jail after killing her husband... Every technical aspect of the movie- editing, camera, sound, music- is real class... Ash of course lives the role and each and every frame she is a delight to watch...very expressive face and eyes used wonderfully- thanks to the director too I suppose...Nandita Das doesn't act too smart., Mirinda Richardson, both the lawyers are all excellent in their roles...even side stories in prison are very well done indeed... as the summary says it all, miss it at your own risk !!!
