![]() ![]() Chandreyee Ghosh makes a mark as Shinjini’s lawyer, delivering her punches on cue, despite weak dialogues. The saving grace is Sandipta Sen’s performance as Raka Sen, who looks natural in her role as Shinjini’s support system. With things moving at such a pace, the twist in the end - the death of a key character - fails to make an impact. ![]() The screenplay borders on extreme melodrama and the episodes lack a cliffhanger ending. There’s the corrupt police officer, the rich and influential family of the three rapists, the defendants’ lawyer and Shinjini’s meek boyfriend - all characters that are hastily etched. But Roy falls back on stereotypes to tell the story. The girl’s scarred face after the assault, her mother’s pain, discomfort and shame, and Raka’s stubbornness to carry on with the fight produce a fertile ground for the director to strike gold. But egged on by Raka, Shinjini begins a battle to punish her assaulters and return to normal life. Shinjini (played by Ditipriya Roy) is the daughter of a single, divorced mother who decides not to take up the matter with the police, fearing social stigma. Later, Raka learns that the girl she saw that day is Shinjini, the same student from her college who has been raped. ![]() But before Raka can do anything, the signal turns red and the car disappears in the traffic. Professor Raka Sen (played by Sandipta Sen) notices a girl in a car with some boys. Parts of the plot are familiar and there’s a build-up of the suspense in the beginning.
