(Spoilers of the movie) Insaf Ka Tarazu is a intense dramatisation about a very real and disturbing depiction of rape and the after math. Based on the movie Lip Stick, essentially the story is the same, but the outcome very different. This movie is a well directed, well written, and powerful rival to any of its time on this subject matter.
The story is about a business man Ramesh (Raj Babar), and his infatuation with Bharati (Zeenat Aman) a model, and the lengths he with go to in order to have her. The end result, the degrading and humiliating rape of Bhariti. The story in many ways sets out to destroy any preconceived notions that we as people may have, that justice always prevails, and the guilty are punished for their crimes.
This story is both compelling and disturbingly realistic, due to the subject matter, and actors portrayal of their characters, which is ever so convincingly done. The rape although graphically depicted at times is necessary in order to put across the violent nature of the crime. The topic of rape was some what unchartered territory at the time in Indian cinema, if not considered taboo. As such the subject of rape was dealt with honestly and aggressively, displaying the pain staking process a victim has to go through to get justice. Over all I would say this film is well written, and as such is very watchable, gripping the audience's attention from the very beginning to the end.
Definitely worth watching.
8/10
