Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With soft box office and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Best for people who like their stories at full throttle and anyone who loves a strong drama. Popcorn viewing in the best sense. If you loved Beast, start here.
The mood
Exciting.
The pace
Big, sprawling and full of spectacle, at 2 hr 30 min.
What might put you off
  • It's long: 2 hr 30 min.
  • It's in Hindi, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Not for anyone who finds explosions tiring.

Ketki marries Vinay, who is exploited by hard-nosed businessman Tirpat. Ketki then organizes local women against Tirpat & Co. Her group includes her sister-in-law, who had a run-in with a dangerous priest.
