Mardaani s relevant, powerful and inspiring with a top notch performance by Rani Mukerji.

Too much drama dilutes the essence of Mardaani.

Reasonably short and minus songs, the film is consistently watchable.

Mardaani may be Rani Mukerji's career best.

She might not appeal to Dabangg junkies. But for everyone else, Mardaani could be well worth a trip to the multiplex.

Faux feminism aside, Mardaani is mostly a middling action thriller.

Mardaani, Rani Mukerji plays it straight.

There is nothing in the plot that you haven't seen before, it is still watchable for the superb performance of Rani.

Watch Mardaani not because it is perfectly conceived – it is not, few films ever are – but because it is truly a brave attempt.

Gritty narrative, no nonsense action.
