Award winning Hindi revenge drama film “Ajji” (2017) written and directed by Devashish Makhija and starring Sushama Deshpande, Sharvani Suryavanshi, Sudhir Pande, Abhishek Banerjee among others.
The story is of a 9 year old Manda (Sharvani Suryavanshi) being raped by a builder politician Dhavale (Abhishek Banerjee). The police come on the scene but is unable to do anything about it. On the contrary the police threatens to evict all of them from their tiny house on the grounds of illegalities.
Thiers is a poor family with Manda’s mother cooking breakfast and delivering on a bicycle and her father working overtime in a mill factory. Her grandmother Ajji (Sushama Deshpande) a 65 year old with arthritic knees stitches clothes to make a living.
Ajji decides to take matters in her own hands and seeks help of the butcher (Sudhir Pande) to learn how to cut meat. She then goes on a reconnaissance to find out where Dhavale lives and what are his movements. Her neighbour Leela (Sadiya Siddiqui) is a prostitute so Ajji decides to take her help to become a prostitute for a night to do the damage to the politician.
The final act is a brilliant piece of blind siding the viewers. Sushama Deshpande as Ajji has acted superbly and overall all the characters have done a good role. Some of the scenes are bawdy but i guess that is show the debauched character of the villain. IMDB 6/10
