Mardaani
starring
Rani
Mukerji
may
have
not
drawn
you
to
theaters
due
to
a
number
of
reasons
which
is
a
sad
thing
for
it
is
one
of
the
best
movies
that
has
released
in
Bollywood
this
year.
The
film
features
Rani
Mukerji
in
the
lead
role,
with
Jisshu
Sengupta
and
Tahir
Bhasin
appearing
in
supporting
roles.
The
plot
of
the
movie
is
as
follows:
Shivani
Shivaji
Roy
(Rani
Mukerji)
is
a
senior
inspector
of
the
criminal
branch
in
Mumbai.
She
lives
with
her
husband,
Dr.
Bikram
Roy
(Jisshu
Sengupta),
and
her
little
niece,
Meera,
of
whom
she
is
very
protective.
A
teenage
girl,
Pyari,
who
is
like
a
daughter
to
her,
is
kidnapped
by
the
trafficking
mafia
and
smuggled
out
of
the
city.
The
mafia
kingpin,
Walt,
calls
Shivani
and
wants
to
know
what
she
wants,
so
she
will
stop
chasing
them.
Shivani
asks
Walt
(Tahir
Bhasin)
to
let
Pyari
free,
but
he
won't
let
her
free,
because
Pyari
has
seen
too
much.
Shivani
doesn't
know
the
name
of
mafia
kingpin
and
she
says
that
she
is
going
to
catch
him
in
30
days.
This
cat
and
mouse
game
between
a
young,
ruthless
mafia
kingpin
and
the
police
is
what
keeps
you
glued
to
your
seats
in
the
theater.
While
the
movie
has
managed
to
beat
Kangana
Ranaut's
Queen
opening
weekend
collection
of
Rs
10
crores
and
has
raked
in
Rs
14.46
crores
over
the
weekend,
it
is
still
really
less
compared
to
other
films
like
Entertainment
,
Kick
or
even
Singham
Returns
that
managed
to
collect
more
than
this
on
the
very
first
day.
There
are
a
number
of
reasons
why
Mardaani
failed
to
pull
in
the
crowd
and
here
are
our
top
ten
reasons
why
this
brilliant
movie
is
being
missed
by
our
movie-goers.
Mardaani
Another
Aiyya?
People
feared
that
Mardaani
would
be
another
film
like
Aiyya
and
that
this
is
just
another
attempt
of
Rani
to
make
a
comeback
in
the
industry.
So
people
could
not
gauge
that
Mardaani
is
actually
a
briliant
movie.
Rani
And
Action?
People
also
failed
to
visualize
Rani
in
an
action
role.
Her
image
and
looks
din't
seem
like
she
could
carry
of
such
a
role
but
to
our
surprise
the
actress
has
done
full
justice
to
the
cop
role.
Female
Cop
Most
of
the
movies
in
Bollywood
with
heroines
playing
the
female
cop
have
not
fared
well,
the
reason
for
this
is
unknown
but
movies
like
Gunday
and
Gunaah
where
Priyanka
Chopra
and
Bipasha
Basu
played
cop
respectively
too
din't
do
well
at
Box
Office.
No
Star
Presence
As
much
as
we
hate
to
say
this,
movie
goers
do
prefer
stars
in
the
movie.
They
are
the
people
who
draw
the
crowd
into
the
theaters
and
it
has
been
quite
sometime
Rani
was
regarded
as
a
superstar.
Rani
Mukerji-Hero
With
each
generation
a
new
set
of
heroines
rule
the
screen
and
this
generation
belongs
to
Deepika
and
Katrina
etc
so
when
actress
like
Rani
or
Kajol
act
in
a
movie
they
are
not
ready
to
see
them
in
a
solo
hero
kind
of
role.
Unless
it
was
English
Vingish
which
Sridevi
carried
off
pretty
well.
Dark
Film
When
people
watch
movies
they
need
entertainment
and
from
Mardaani's
trailer
it
seemed
like
a
dark
themed
movie
and
so
people
may
not
have
been
ready
to
watch
a
serious
film
in
theater
unless
it
was
really
that
good.
Now
that
Mardaani
has
proved
it
is
a
brilliant
movie,
may
be
people
will
rush
to
theaters.
No
Unique
Promotions
Promotions
play
a
huge
part
in
movies,
Kick,
Happy
New
Year
and
even
Bobby
Jasoos
incorporated
new
promotional
strategies
but
Rani
din't
do
anything
different
and
was
seen
promoting
her
only
in
television
channels.
Now
after
the
release
of
the
movie
they
are
trying
to
promote,
which
may
not
matter
anymore
now.
Women-Oriented
Film
While
people
don't
mind
watching
a
women
oriented
film,
a
lot
of
bad
films
in
the
past
have
created
a
notion
in
the
public's
mind
that
they
won't
be
good.
Very
rarely
do
films
like
Queen
and
Mardaani
come
which
win
our
hearts
over.
Marriage
Factor
No
matter
how
much
one
argues,
people
may
still
not
be
open
enough
to
see
a
married
heroine
on-screen.
Even
a
star
like
Kareena
Kapoor's
projects
have
drastically
reduced.
So
this
could
also
be
a
factor.
Pregnancy
Rumours
Wherever
we
saw,
more
than
Rani's
Mardaani,
her
marriage
and
pregnancy
rumours
were
given
importance.
Media
highlighted
her
pregnancy
rumours
and
marriage
so
much
that
Mardaani
was
somewhere
lost.
