Storyline

Shivani Shivaji Roy (Rani Mukerji) is a senior inspector of the criminal branch in Mumbai. She lives with her husband, Dr. Bikram Roy (Jisshu Sengupta), and her little niece, Meera, of whom she is very protective. Clever at picking up hidden clues and fearless in confronting hardened criminals after wild chases, Shivani takes on a case that changes her life. A teenage girl, Pyari, who is like a daughter to her, is kidnapped by the trafficking mafia and smuggled out of the city. The mafia kingpin, Walt, calls Shivani and wants to know what she wants, so she will stop chasing them. Shivani asks Walt (Tahir Bhasin) to let Pyari free, but he won't let her free, because Pyari has seen too much. Shivani doesn't know the name of mafia kingpin and she says that she is going to catch him in 30 days. What follows is a cat and mouse game between a young, ruthless mafia kingpin and the police.

Rani Mukherjee is mind blowing with her punches and fiery dialogues
23 August 2014 | by (India) – See all my reviews

It is heartening and encouraging to see women centric films doing well in Bollywood - Kahaani , English Vinglish, Queen and now Mardaani adding extra charm to the genre.

Mardaani tells the true story of drug racket and child trafficking which is very much existing in current India. An orphan goes missing from NGO doubting Crime Branch officer Shivani Shivaji Roy and investigate the case which involves a cat-mouse game between Shivani and the mafia kingpin.

From the director of Parineeta , Pradeep Sarkar is in a great form. After strings of flops , he comes back with a bang. Hats off to him for creating niche drama with well-written screenplay that will keep glued on to the screen till the end. Cinematography is outstanding. Background score gels well with the mood of the film. Editing adds crispiness to the pace. Mardaani belongs to queen of hearts - Rani Mukherjee. The supremely talented actress will prove the naysayers that she could come back and deliver a solid performance. She is mind blowing with her punches and fiery dialogues. Tahir Raj Bhasin will surprise you as mafia kingpin.

Mardaani has everything going in its favor - Brilliant direction, Strong performances. Highly recommended. Excellent 4/5
