Sherni Review : An honest attempt at highlighting wildlife conservation

Sherni is a adventure drama directed by Amit Masurkar which has Vidya Balan essaying the lead role.

The tale of a Forest Officer stationed in a Jungle where a Tiger is killing people. How hard will it be for her to captivate the tiger alive?

Amidst filthy politics and bureaucracy, Vidya Balan who plays Vidya Vincent gets helpless and deserted just as easily as any other woman in a man dominated world is likely to get.

The plot has two facets. First is, saving the tiger and the conservationist aspect. The second is the feminist bit.

The feminist line of the plot is not well written as the relationship of Vidya with her spouse and mother isn’t written with depth and layers.

The film chiefly focuses on the jungle, the tiger, and the politics of the forest division and rural government.

The cinematography, CGI, and BGM are worth praising and the makers using these elements make you transcend to the forest and you’ll feel every bit of it.

The performances are bang on! And not only the lead cast, the villagers and the other supporting cast performs so well. The direction by the director of Newton, Amit Masurkar is great.

On the whole, the film is a slow-paced story without much of an entertainment quotient. However, it should be watched for the so many messages it has to give. But if you like a film with drama and masala, this film won’t feed your appetite. Especially, if you are a lover for happy endings, you won’t like how this film ends.

Something like this doesn’t get made often in Bollywood and kudos to the makers for making this! Sherni is streaming on Amazon Prime Video as an Amazon Original Movie.
