Bhouri Movie Review

Introduction

The movie hit theatres on June 17, 2016, and starred Masha Paur, Raghubir Yadav, Kunika, Shakti Kapoor in lead roles.

The plot unfolds as it is revealed that Bhouri has been married earlier thrice and all her husband’s had died. When she marries Dhanua, people around the village, from the cops to the village head try to convince the husband to give his wife away as they want to sleep with her. 

What works?

The movie has a brutal and disturbing screenplay, owing to it being written as honestly as possible. It is said to be based on stories inspired by real events that take place in rural India. The content and storyline of the movie are truly moving and has some of the best performances by its lead actors. Their realistic portrayals make you feel their rage, anger, and pain. The movie’s powerful depiction will also hit your right in the gut.

What did not work?

The movie could have shown some more dignity and ethics towards the lead character of Bhouri, herself. The scene where Bhouri bows down to her own actions and not to the societal expectations, could have been eliminated or executed in a better manner for a bigger impact.
