Section 375 (2019)
7/10
Good, But....
27 September 2019
After watching the Netflix series: Unbelievable, I was expected a full on psychological drama. Here's what I got....

The moment when ink is sprayed on Akshay Khanna - it is very plausible for an 'Indian movie' to resolve the plot by favouring his verdict. But to make the whole case sensitive they have to somehow take it all back to a neutral state. There are many moments in the film where we can see either the writer, casting crew, or the director shaping our thoughts, and to be honest - I didn't enjoy that aspect. The ideal case ought to be where the film makers are so absent that their personalities have sort of rinsed into the whole movie. So in that regards I found the film a bit naive. For a sensitive movie watcher - it is basically a 200/- crash-course on how to set up tension and later resolve. The subject deserves more than that!

The performances of the two lead characters were sound enough to engage one to watch it till the end. The argumentation that was presented in the court room was pretty straightforward and one dimensional, so whatsoever vulnerability was thus exposed stands as being not so appealing.

In conclusion, this movie is just a plain comment which reads - "Police are lazy, Women sometimes misuse Section 375, and justice is an abstract concept."

If you choose not to watch it - You won't miss a great deal. But it was fun anyway!
