Raveena Tandon pumps in so much life into the film that it is her performance that steals the show.

Raveena is sincere as the victim who sullies her hands to get justice. But, the amount of bloodshed, leaves you asking, what is worse. Are the images of rape gorier, or is the bloodshed of the perpetrators of the crime, grosser?

Maatr is a raw and powerful tale that is crisply told albeit a tad fictionalised.
