Let me start off by saying that the movie was entertaining with some good performances.But I felt the plot was unconvincing and at times outlandish and over the top especially the court scenes and the second half,which is like a moral science lecture on consent and woman's choice.
The first half is decent with its moments and gets the mood right but its the second half that's a let down.Amitabh Bachchan is great as the defence lawyer but his counterpart played by Piyush Mishra is a huge let down.His character was clichéd to the point that anything he says in the movie is outlandish and moronic.So are the villains who are reduced to dummies with feudal/patriarchal issues.
The plot was used to advance a single point : Consent! The court drama was high on rhetoric,low on intelligent arguments and a lack of engaging back and forth between the defence and the prosecution completely undermines the second half and with it the movie too.
By reducing the opposition to a caricature the movie conveniently concludes with Amitabh doing the rescuing act with nauseating lecturing and with the whole consent thing.
This movie is a example of creating a plot with an end product already in mind.The story is a poor excuse for the whole "shoving consent down ur throat" monologue that repeats throughout the second half.The dialogue was very in ur face,harsh and at times out right unbearable.
The movie uses the brute realities of our patriarchy and shamelessly reproduces it without any filter and in the process makes u cringe and convulse to drive home its point.This I think is easy only if you are out to please the average viewer,but to engage an intelligent audience you need a convincing plot,intelligent characters and engaging drama!!
I wanted to like this movie but it disappointed me on so many levels that i simply cant bring myself to appreciate a good intention but half-baked execution.
