PUNQ

Rated 09 Oct 2016

A brave tale of a daughter standing up to her parents trying to marry her off to a old man. Gets weary after a while, which is a typical thing considering the exaggerated length of Indian movies, but there are some exceptionally strong scenes here too. I'm thinking of the few scenes where the girl shows her strength against the pressure and the old man's conscience talking with himself in the mirror. That last one was a classic paranoia moment!
