With a box office flop and almost no 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 anyone who likes stories from the past brought to life and anyone who loves a strong drama. One to watch when you can give it your full attention. A good follow-up to Suffragette.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Lets scenes breathe, at 2 hr 19 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Hindi, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
Indu’s husband, a government employee, believes in using the state of Emergency to advance his career, but a moral and ideological discrepancy sets her on a own path.
