The primary time Ammu’s (Aishwarya Lekshmi) husband, Ravi (Naveen Chandra) hits her, she stands there, for a second, in disbelief—it’s like the material of her actuality has been ripped aside: it is a man she has begun to fall in love with over the previous few weeks, somebody she considers residence. She then walks away, and he goes after her, holds her, tries to console her, however insidiously, instantly begins persuading her that this isn’t who he’s, that he had causes for performing out, a narrative that Ammu ultimately internalises and tries to adapt to, forgetting the reality. It’s maybe the very best acted scene of the yr, with a stellar efficiency by Aishwarya Lekshmi, who’s so searingly actual in the way in which she breaks down below abuse, that it’s usually painful to look at. She is equally compelling within the scenes when she lastly will get to dish out his comeuppance.
