I hv recenltly watched soni movie on netflix .This movie is very good example how good director can make a very good cinema on such a simple subject with all unknown faces but good actors. Cinematography is very good specially the way camera moves with the characters. Cameraman in not indian and he has done a superb job even if he might not be aware about our culture. Camera is one of the characters in the movie.The movie is about women empowerment. All the actors soecially female actors have acted exceptionaly. Director stuck to his viewpoint. He could have added some more details in story and made it interesting for common movie goers. But he focussed on his way of story telling and those who love good cinema will find this movie very interesting and engrossing. I would strongly recommend this movie. In case you donot appericiate good cinema you may find this movie boaring.

Had to fast forward bits and pieces. Low on entertainment, quite a drag of a storyline of a female cop, male stereotypes, political connections that make it all spineless. Anyways- Not happening! Go watch Four more shots please, you can get a chuckle and enthusiastically move to the next episode

We randomly picked this movie and watched it with an open mind. But it was too slow for me and I did not find any significance in some of the dialogues there. I wanted to quit watching the movie half way through but then decided to forward the boring talks a bit and finally reached the end. Though I got the end, the strong woman still wound up with a lower level job because of her temper. That shouldn't have been the end is all I'm saying. I didn't find the ending worth the patience I tried to give it due to its tortoise pace.

This is a movie which I was dearly wanting to enjoy and celebrate and I'm giving it 5 stars due to the two Female Actors, who did the best they could with a lackluster script and poor direction. The scenes were so much about the Actors engaging in largely unnecessary activities combined with a director who simply couldn't create the tautness and necessary edifying opportunity which this vital narrative would have greatly benefited from. In turn this created a non-cohesive narrative, which lagged and dragged. Leaving me thinking that with a Female Director and Writers this movie would have been everything it had the potential to be! A missed opportunity.

Soni has a good plot line and exposes an important part of Indian society - the plight of women. However, it suffers from overly long scenes and the plot moved very slowly. It takes a lot of patience to watch this film because it progresses so slowly. Then acting is good and the storyline is an important one, but it is too long for what it offers.

Right from the moment I landed on the Netflix home page and I saw the thumbnail of the movie. I fell in love with it. Trust me, each and every moment of the movie was like delving deep in the unconscious realms of the minds of the women. The subtleness which Ivan Iyer showed in directing the frames is exceptional. The way Saloni Batra portrayed the mid aged IAS officer, Kalpana is fabulous. she captured the crux of the character. She had the character in her hold or I should she say she became Kalpana. Geetika was so gripping as the hothead Soni who was dealing with emotional voids in her life and society. The portrayal deserves an applaud. She seemed so real, maybe she knew what it felt to be a girl who is frustrated with what society has to offer. I am in awe and love with this movie. Its an extension into the awakening conscious of the filmmakers, actors and our society as a whole. I wish that many people like Ivan Iyer, Anand Gandhi, Sohum Shah keep on walking on this path and showing us our darkest, corrupt and unjust practises going on in our society behind the veils of our obscure traditions, practices and egos. A special thanks to Netflix and other production houses supporting them.

Police Sub-Inspector Soni makes her first appearance in this film as bait in an 'Eve-teasing' sting operation: as she cycles, in plain clothes, along a dark city street, an oik cycles up beside her and starts making suggestive remarks. He follows Soni into an alleyway where her police comrades are waiting, but before they can arrest the man Soni starts to beat him with perhaps more force than is necessary. This leads to her being reassigned to the police's call centre (in echoes of another film shown at the 2018 London Film Festival, Gustav Möller's 'The Guilty'). Meanwhile, Soni's immediate superior, Kalpana, tries to convince *her* superior - whose romantic partner she is, handily - to reinstate Soni back to her squad. As the film progresses we get a view of the everyday casual harassment the film-makers present as the lot of women in India: for example, as Soni is being shown the call centre ropes, a male caller ends his call by asking the female operator for her personal telephone number. Soni and Kalpana also have personal troubles: Kalpana's relationship with her partner/superior is put under strain due to her efforts on Soni's behalf; and Soni herself has to deal with her boyfriend trying to get back into her good books after betraying her at a terrible time. Soni and Kalpana are interesting central characters, and Geetika Vidya Ohlyan is particularly good as the former. I would perhaps have appreciated a stronger central plotline - the film strikes me as being a loosely-woven collection of plot threads - but it was certainly well worth watching.

Movie is just too damn slow man! Build the plot and move on! The actresses were great, I understand the struggle, but social movies too need to be entertaining. This had a glorious opportunity to shine, let alone pick up! Sub plots were completely lost! There is indeed relevant and thoughtful contemplation at the end. But Mr. Director, the movie HAS to be entertaining. 1/5 for the director. 5/5 for the actresses.

Soni is a short fused young single woman who cannot control her hot temper, she overreacts to male teasing, in both her personal and professional life. She is also a cop in a precint in New Delhi and her activities encompass dealing with petty violators and neighborhood problems . As a result of her wild behaviour, her superiors began inquiries. To this point, Soni problems seem to be clear, but, the film shows also that she lives alone and is unable to keep a relationship with men. Her former boyfriend returns to visit her, a good man she has dumped and who is begging to be accepted again showing commitment for the future . Then comes the viewer internal debate, are her reactions right or she has a psychological problem ?. The movie is compelling and the acting is great.
