The myth of Savitri has been recreated for the big screen by director Param Gill. The idea receives thumbs up from our side but it is the execution that is so poor, it gives you a headache.
‘Waarrior Savitri’ is the story of Savitri (Niharica Raizada) who brings her husband, Rajat Barmecha, back from the God of Death, Yamraj, played by Om Puri. The film is not only poorly written, it is poorly acted out too. The characters are shabbily written: their backgrounds, mannerisms, dialogues and their stories are completely out of sync. The plot of the film shifts from Jodhpur to Las Vegas where everything suddenly turns into a sex game. This film tried its best to bend the gender rule but, like many other so-called feminist films churned out by Bollywood, it fails to dive in a little deep in the topic. On one hand they show Savitri fighting men and on the other hand we have a pool scene with bikini-clad woman while the man is fully clothed. In the end, ‘Warrior Savitri’ tries too hard to be a pro-feminist film but falls flat on its face.
A Very low keen plot which doesn’t make you much entertained. Just to look at the glamour of Niharica Raizada and Lucy Pinder in one of the song, you wouldn’t have to put much effort. The plot is just like the normal thing where heroine fights for hero’s life with Yamraj. It won’t be an exaggeration if we say that your life would be better if you avoid this film.
