Movie: Eik Haseena Thee

Movie Review

Actors: Urmilla and Saif Ali Khan
Director: , Producer:

The movie opens with an honest, innocent, independent (but a cowardly) girl living in Mumbai on account of persuing a career. Later on, Saif Ali Khan enters her life. In the beginning, she avoids him but he saves her from being raaped by some
hooligans thereby winning her confidence....

The movie is simply beautiful with no typical songs that are a hallmark of the Pakistani and Indian movies. There is only one song that is simply and truly depicting the transition in the heroine`s life after going to prison and that too does not depict the usual artificial comic scenes.The theme of the movie is matter-of-fact and serious.The writer has taken up a serious issue thereby speaking for women`s rights as well as by bringing out the true nature of the underworld and the unconcerned attitude of the police in investigating (as the police officer refuses to listen to the girl or her parents thereby making the girl a criminal).

The movie is really different from the ordinary stuff that Bollywood or Lollywood usually produce.It really is thought provoking and an eye-opener for the people and the governments of the sub-continent.
