The doctor (Tisca Chopra) gives her a final ultrasound before starting with the abortion procedure, and breaks the awkward silence in the room, "Can you see that grey dot on the monitor? That's the baby's heart. It's beating." Deepti, immediately defensive, responds, "Yeh aap mujhe kyu dikha rahin hai?" She's here for an abortion.

Mardaani 2 Movie Review: Rani Mukerji gets the perfect nemesis in Vishal Jethwa,

Image
Movie Name: Mardaani 2 Cast: Rani Mukerji Director: Gopi Puthran Rani Mukerji's Mardaani 2 could not have come at a better time. But then, a good time for a revenge drama where the cops are chasing a serial rapist and a murderer is a bad time for the rest of the country. Gopi Puthran weaves a gripping tale and he doesn't loosen the grip through the whole of the 1-hour-45-minute run time of the film. And that right there is Mardaani 2's biggest win. The tight screenplay leaves room for our Hindi film heroine's stray hair because she is not just a pretty Bollywood face, but has no space for one stray scene, emotion, line or expression. As Gopi Puthran moves from the writer's position in Mardaani (2014) to the director's chair in Mardaani 2, Shivani Shivaji Roy (Rani) and the story move from Mumbai to Kota, Rajasthan. Kota here plays a significant role, but contrary to the protests that mushroomed claiming the film is trying to malig...
