The fight to save the girl!
Plot: This film tells the tale of a man who adores his wife and daughter and does not subscribe to society’s conservative viewpoints. He also does not distinguish between boys and girls. In his family, his parents believe that they should have a son at all costs and that they should only have a boy. Their daughter was nine years old prior to this.
They have had their daughter-in-law aborted six times so far in order to continue the family line and have a grandson. Now, when the son and his parents go for another ultrasound, the doctor purposefully keeps the gender a secret. This time, will his parents also have an abortion? Is his son aware that it’s a girl eventually? Will he and his wife and daughter flee their home? You must watch the film to find the answers to all of these questions.
Tone and Theme: Discrimination and Rights, which is based on Survival Life, is the theme of this social comedy drama film, which has a tone that combines humour and emotion. In addition to being entertaining, the film’s intention is to convey the social message that boys and girls are equal and that there should be no discrimination against them.
Characters and Acting: Ranveer Singh does a fantastic job portraying Jayesh. He did a great job portraying all human emotions on screen and a scared son who is unable to speak out against his parents. He continues to suffer in silence because he lacks the courage. In the movie, he speaks humorous. He has given his role his best effort. In the movie, he has a completely different personality. It looks a lot like real life.
The fact that Shalini Pandey‘s in-laws had six abortions makes her portrayal of Mudra seem a lot like real life. She has behaved admirably. Her third Hindi film is this one. Prior to this, She appeared in Arjun Reddy(2017), a Telugu movie. The way that Boman Irani plays Jayesh’s father is also excellent. On screen, he has brought his role to life. He gives the character his whole attention. Additionally, Ratna Pathak Shah does a good job as Jashoda. Her expressions are incredible. We get the impression that we are viewing a real-life character. As you can see, Puneet Issar does a good job portraying Amar Tau, despite the role being small.
Story, Screenplay, Dialogue and Direction: Divyang Thakkar is the film’s director, and this marks his debut feature film. Notably, he began his career as an actor in movies, which gives him a unique perspective. Moreover, he did a commendable job directing this movie, showcasing his skill and creativity. In addition, he contributed to the film by writing its dialogue, screenplay, and story. Furthermore, he has skillfully directed a narrative that conveys a powerful social message.
However, the screenplay could have been improved for better impact. On the other hand, the dialogue is well-written and aligns perfectly with each character. Given that this is his first movie, it is truly remarkable and difficult to believe that he is capable of producing such a high-quality film. Additionally, the film’s execution is superb, reflecting his command over the entire movie-making process.
Siddharth Diwan’s cinematography is excellent. The views taken from above are exquisite.

Viewpoint: Only Watch Once!
Rating: 6/10
Social Message: Abortion and foeticide are crimes, and it is especially wrong to identify a girl. Girls and boys are equal, so if there aren’t enough girls, who will marry the boys? If there aren’t any girls, who will bear boys?
