Mardaani - A must watch..loved it

When I heard the name of the movie and saw the trailer the first thing that flashed in my mind were the following lines of a Hindi poem by Subhadra Kumari Chauhan which I studied in my 5th Standard(CBSE): सिंहासन हिल उठे राजवंशों ने भृकुटी तानी थी, बूढ़े भारत में आई फिर से नयी जवानी थी, गुमी हुई आज़ादी की कीमत सबने पहचानी थी, दूर फिरंगी को करने की सबने मन में ठानी थी। चमक उठी सन सत्तावन में, वह तलवार पुरानी थी, बुंदेले हरबोलों के मुँह हमने सुनी कहानी थी, खूब लड़ी मर्दानी वह तो झाँसी वाली रानी थी।। For people who don't understand Hindi here is the English translation of the above lines: The throne got shook, and the tension erupted among the Raajvanshs, the royal heirs of the throne, In aged India, a new wave of youth was spreading, All the inhabitants of India had realized the worth of their lost freedom, All of them had decided to get rid of the Foreign rule, The old swords started glittering again like new ones in the form of the freedom movement in 1857. From the mouths of the Bandelas and the Harbolas (Religious singers of Bandelkhand), we heard the tale of the courage of the Queen of Jhansi relating how gallantly she fought like a man against the British intruders: such was the Queen of Jhansi. And the lines so aptly applies to the current condition of women of this country ..yes all of us need to keep the 'Jhansi Ki Raani' spirit intact among us. Director Pradeep Sarkar who earlier gave us the classic Parineeta and Lafange Parindey has taken a diversion from the glam and glitz of Bollywood to a dark reality of human trafficking. Even with the share of its cinematic liberties the movie keeps you on the edge from the beginning to the end and for once never fails to grab your attention. There are moments that might make your eyes moist and loads to ponder about and loads of moments for a thundering applause for the awesome performance by the Brilliant actress Rani Mukherjee. Rani Mukherjee as the tough talking cop is sheer brilliance to watch , please can we not have lines such as following from the awful set of Indian audience for this superb actress: Ye to ab buddhi ho gayi ise movie mein acting band kar dena chahiye ..sick people Rani Mukherji gave the character the much-needed intensity, strength and dignity Tahir Raj Bhasin who plays the role of the main villain leaves a very impressive mark. Jisshu Sengupta even with his limited given scope does a decent job of a great supportive husband. The movie is quite powerful and quite relevant to the given situation of our country. So while all of us are having fun dressing up, posing for selfies,having a ball basically let's never ever let the 'Jhansi Ki Rani' spirit die among us. Morale of the story - Never think twice to beat up an awful man actually beat him up black and blue and break his bones and then also if he still misbehaves you know exactly which part of his body needs to be cut into pieces and burnt for good :) Have A Blessed Week Ahead And Lets Get Together To Make Our Country -'No Country For Awful Sick Men' :) Recommended..Don't Miss it :)
