Natkhat movie review: Vidya Balan silently but effectively battles patriarchy in her debut short film

Firstpost  

Language: Hindi Haven’t we heard countless times that young men ended up misbehaving with women because they are “natkhat”? Vidya Balan seeks to address this appalling frame of mind through her new short film, Natkhat, that is also her maiden production, along with Ronnie Screwvala’s RSVP Movies. Balan’s story as the mother runs parallel to the story Sonu writes for himself, due to the way director Shaan Vyas and Annukampa Harsh, and editor Shweta Venkat Mathew, structure the screenplay. However, one wishes the film started with the dining hall scene rather than have the writers waste time in establishing the various negative influences in Sonu’s life. Since Balan does not use the crutch of local accent to remind the viewers she plays a village woman, Kriti Kolwankar and Maria Tharakan’s choice of simple cotton saris for the actress comes in handy.
