R ARIVANANTHAM
Directed by debutant Harsh Warrdhan ‘In Car’ reflects the present-day India where cities are not safe for women. Thus Director Harsh Warrdhan has taken up one of the key problems that the majority of women face in our nation but fails miserably. Hundreds of females are being abducted by cruel-minded individuals in our country, but only a very few cases have come to light.
2012 New Delhi Nirbhaya case and the recent Hathras case remind the society that even after 75 years of Independence sexploitation of women still continues.
National Award-winning actress Ritika Singh shoulders the burden of entire film with her acting prowess.
Sakshi Gulati (Ritika Singh), a college-going student, gets abducted by a group of three miscreants on the Machilipatnam National Highway. They kidnap Sakshi and try to sexually assault her in a moving car. Helpless Sakshi pleads with them to leave her. But the merciless trio try to abuse her physically.
One of the kidnappers, Ravi’s (Manish Jhanjholia) sadistic behaviour makes one feel that he should have been killed right in the car. His performance is quite realistic and makes everyone hate him for his filthy language and behaviour. Yashwanth (Sandeep Goyat) and Kittu (Sunil Soni) also performed well.
Trailer:
Despite resisting, Ritika sits in silence and moans throughout the film. She ought to have slapped or kicked the abductors as a mark of stiff resistance. One will feel that the driver, who is not a part of the kidnappers, can do something to save the innocent soul.
The problem with the film is the excessive use of cuss words and abusive language. It’s high time for the censor board members to axe the usage of filthy language in movies.
The cinematography by Mithun Gangopadhyay is exceptional, especially in its use of drone and close-up shots to create a specific mood. People who worked for sound designing and editing departments failed big time. If these two aspects had been handled well, In Car would definitely become an engaging thriller. Production values are just average.
