Myopic, ignorant and a train wreck
The film not only provides validation to all those dismissing sexual harassment cases as having ulterior motives but also does great disservice to women, who have only recently had the courage to risk social stigma and share their stories with the world. With every clap and hoot generated in the auditorium when Khanna speaks or as the credits roll, one can ascertain the impact of Section 375 and the recklessness and shortsightedness with which Bahl has approached the subject.(more)

Richa Chadha, Akshaye Khanna play off each other well in this nuanced film
Section 375 does not take a shrill, moralistic stand. It also does not cave to Bollywood-ised courtroom hysteria (don't expect grand chants of 'Milord'), sticking to a highly charged narrative that nimbly looks at both sides of the case and, ultimately, defers to the rule of law.(more)

Courtroom drama that keeps you on the edge

Akshaye Khanna, Richa Chadha deliver a brave film that raises questions
Section 375 also shows the corrupt side of our judicial system. Despite the lawyer's wife warning him that 'given today's scenario, it's not right to defend a rape accused', and that they have a young daughter, he goes ahead and takes up the case. And in his defense, his 8-year-old watches cartoon network, so chances are unlikely she would spot her father on news channels, being involved in such a case. That's not it. Familiarising you with our legal system, Section 375 shows how this senior lawyer puts in more research into knowing the personal traits and track record of the judge assigned to his case, than the file of his client.(more)
