Mardaani is obviously Rani Mukerji’s film and she dominates the show all the way through. But a few of the other actors, too, are given enough space to make a mark.
Tahir Raj Bhasin( as the boyish, English-speaking Hindu College dropout who trades in kidnapped girls) delivers a measured performance.
So does the underutilized Anil George as the creepy drug dealer Vakil.
Priyanka Sharma makes her presence felt in the guise of the street girl Pyari, whose abduction is the film’s principal flashpoint.
Because Shivani Shivaji Roy is not your average action ‘hero’, she might not appeal to Dabangg junkies. But for everyone else, Mardaani could be well worth a trip to the multiplex.
