Sakshi tanwar

A mother's revenge is served cold and without any showing garnishing in Netflix's Mai, directed by the debuting Atul Mongia and the one-film-old Anshai Lal (Phillauri). The six-part series starring Sakshi Tanwar as the 40-something titular character belongs to a generic tradition that is usually male-dominated and age-conscious. Mai is neither. It is, therefore, markedly different from run-of-the-mill vengeance sagas. The Clean Slate Filmz production, written by Mongia, Amita Vyas and Tamal Sen, is a high-intensity, consistently intriguing and low-heat thriller centred on a middle-aged woman who is sucked into the Lucknow underworld following the death of her mute daughter (Wamiqa Gabbi) in an accident. The mother, the prime witness, sniffs foul play and resolves to get to the bottom of the truth. The protagonist, Sheel Chaudhary (Tanwar), is a nurse in an old age home. As she seeks the reason behind the tragedy, she commits an unintentional act that culminates in another death. As the engaging story unfolds, Sheel has to make sense of the first death and conceal the circumstances of the second. One crisis is triggered by Sheel's determination to figure out why her daughter had to die, another is caused by the fact that she is up against a gang of medical scamsters who will stop at nothing to weed out all impediments in their path. A self-willed woman, Neelam (Raima Sen), who, too, has come up the hard way and will not to let anything scuttle her aspirations, controls the ...

As yet another mother seeks justice for her daughter by taking the law into her hands, one was prepared for a predictable slow burner where an everywoman would transform into a revenge machine, and eventually find the culprit from a bevy of red herrings. However, the Netflix series turns out to be much more. The crime thriller is bound in the tapestry of grief, a rarity in these days of vigilante entertainment. The realistic approach makes you emotionally bond with Sheel Chaudhary (Sakshi Tanwar), the mourning mother in search of justice in the labyrinthine Lucknow during the course of the six-episode series. When Sheel tastes the favourite pastry of her daughter, our throat develops a lump. When she tells the school clerk how good her mute daughter was at making friends, one can’t prevent the eyes from welling up. Even the lighting is dim and amber, perhaps, indicating the jaundiced world that directors Atul Mongia and Anshai Lal have painted for Sheel and the audience to navigate. It is the kind of series where violence not only appears inevitable, but also justified. And that is what makes it difficult to absorb. Sheel shows spine without shedding her cultural values and gender traits, ingrained over the years. It makes her actions believable and closer to the world around us. Sakshi ensures that there is not an ounce of pretense left in her performance. Her everyday charm makes you tide over the larger-than-life leaps that Sheel takes as the series progresses. She owns...

Language: Hindi In a scene from Netflix’s Mai, Sheel played by a watered-down Sakshi Tanwar rummages a junkyard for a lost object she expects to barter for a clue about her daughter’s mysterious accident-turned-murder. A garbage bag she tears into reveals, suddenly, a child’s hand. “ Ladki hogi, yahan bohat milenge aise,” an accomplice assures her rather nonchalantly. Mai, as she is referred to in the series, casually unfurls a scarf she has been using to keep the stench of garbage out, to cover the wretched sight. It’s a stunning sequence, tied together by the fragility of a mother and the cruel abyss she must stare into to find worse truths about her late daughter. It’s perhaps a metaphor for this country, captured through a moment so casually ushered into the narrative it perfectly illustrates both Mai’s brilliance, and its weaknesses. For it is a show that successfully communicates the savagery of its world through moments, but fails to carve something memorable as a whole. Not a lot in Mai in terms of the premise is of course novel. A mother out to avenge her lost daughter is a done-to-death format but in Mai the mechanics of a ghastly world contribute to making the series more than the sum of its linear aspirations. After her daughter is run over by a truck in front of her eyes, chance coincidences force Sheel to almost dead-walk through a self-sustained investigation. Twists, accidents, last-minute escapes and violence follow but they are delivered with the restrain...
