Feisty And Powerful

While Mardaani retains the strong sincere no nonsense police protagonist, it is the antagonist which is underwritten. This completely lets down the impact that Rani Mukherjee's Shivani has on us throughout the movie. (more)

Roaring lady rules the show in Mardaani

Despite the film not unraveling with as much wit and creativity as was expected of it, the movie is an attempt to alter the fare of commercial cinema, giving it a more real tinge. It might not be a brilliant film but it is a film that is better than good and must govern your attention for the theme ...(more)

Mardaani fails to give any impetus to women empowerment.

Mardaani�s philosophy and message are conveyed to some extent. It may be liked due to its women oriented theme, but I don�t think it would give any impetus to the process of women empowerment. Watch it if you have been a Rani fan, but don�t look for any depth in the story(more)

Rani Mukerji will blow your mind in Mardaani

Mardaani is a crime drama, which is packed with action and thrills. Rani Mukerji plays a tough cop who does her job with her heart and mind. She puts in her blood and sweat to bust a human-trafficking racket. The show she puts together on the big screen is simply awesome!(more)

Mardaani is a marked departure from convention.Mardaani is obviously Rani Mukerji�'s film and she dominates the show all the way through.

Mardaani is more in the nature of a police procedural drama than a stunt film about a comic strip cop in which exploding cars and pummeled bodies are flung about in the air like a whole lot of pillows.(more)
