Ardeśīra Bandyopādhyāya (Banerjee)

A dark and redemptive tale of a woman who faced immense losses in her life, working as a housekeeper helping an equally messed up family, to redeem herself and the family along the way.

A very grave issue dealt very well.

The movie, although with an extremely important message, has an unrealistic turn of events that can never transpire. The courtroom isn't the place for theatrics, and it was impossible to see how the judge could have charged the politician at the end, even though there weren't any facts. It is 2020, and exaggerated drama reeks through most of the movie. But yes, rape and sexual abuse of young children is heinous, and that by itself redeems the movie by some scale.
