Mumbai’s theaters are buzzing with praise for Anubhav Sinha’s latest directorial ‘Assi’, which hit screens recently and has already captured audiences’ attention. Unlike typical films that focus solely on crimes against women, ‘Assi’ dives deeper into the cruel societal mindset that perpetuates such injustices, making it a powerful commentary on real-world issues.
Viewers emerging from the first shows couldn’t stop raving about the film. One enthusiastic spectator shared with media outlets that ‘Assi’ tackles taboo subjects head-on—those uncomfortable truths society prefers to ignore. The story revolves around a mother whose daughter faces a horrific assault, only to be further victimized by judgmental eyes from her community. From her home to the courtroom, her arduous journey is portrayed with gripping thrillers and suspense at every turn, ensuring the narrative never drags.
Taapsee Pannu steals the show in the role of a fierce lawyer, donning the black coat with such conviction that she breathes life into the courtroom sequences. Her performance has been hailed as a standout, elevating the entire drama.
Another viewer emphasized the need for more such hard-hitting Hindi cinema that forces introspection. ‘Every 20 minutes, a woman somewhere in India faces violence,’ the film starkly reminds us through chilling facts that shake viewers to the core. It’s not just a call to society but to the government to awaken and act. The plot masterfully weaves police investigations, legal battles, and lawyer dynamics, blending raw emotions with edge-of-the-seat suspense.
Families are recommending ‘Assi’ as a one-time watch that’s suitable for all ages, praising its balance of heart-wrenching moments and thrilling pace. As word spreads, ‘Assi’ is poised to spark nationwide conversations on women’s safety and societal reform.
