Provoked - To Each His Own

Meetu’s Review: Kiranjit Ahluwalia - the lady who fought with destiny and resigned to it at the same time. One of those stories that get lost in the plethora of injustices in the world. A story that desperately needs to be told. Alas, it loses out in execution - despite Aishwarya?s sensitive portrayal of the lady who was wronged. As usual she looks stunning (without makeup at that!).
Rating: Wait for video release
