What’s Hot?
No one but Manoj Bajpayee could play the role of lawyer PC Solanki with such finesse. His calm, composed yet moving demeanor will move even the most hardened of souls. His character has layers. He’s not the typical macho lawyer of any other courtroom drama who storms into the room with heavy strides, leaving everyone stunned. He’s a normal guy who just wants to bring justice. He has his skills as a lawyer to achieve the same and he just plays the part perfectly. Although he is a lawyer, he is not emotionless. He feels all the pain that the victim went through, the trauma of the parents and while doing so, he takes care of his old mother and son. Adrija plays the role of the victim and she does it very well. It’s not easy playing a victim character, but she did a good job. The film’s strong supporting cast adds to the intensity of the courtroom drama. We must say that Manoj Bajpayee’s prolific performance is supported by powerful dialogues. Apoorv Singh Karki has made his directorial debut with this film and he deserves a round of applause. There is not a single dull moment. Courtroom dramas can get boring and technical at times, but not Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai. Every scene, every dialogue, every emotion is presented in the right way.
What not?
There is nothing bad about Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai, but rather it serves as an eye-opener. Should our beliefs control our lives in such a way that it becomes harmful? The film also sheds light on the changes that have come in the system especially after the Nirbhaya case in Delhi, the POCSO act and more that everyone should know.
Pronunciation:
BollywoodLife gives Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai four stars. The courtroom drama is unnerving, but it’s a must see for everyone. If nothing, Manoj Bajpayee’s impeccable performance should not be missed.
