Section 375 Movie Review

Keeping its focus intact on the story and script, Section 375 sets the mood and tone right from the beginning. Throughout the film, you can't decide on whose side you are. The narrative switches from victim to accused with your sympathy too moving like a pendulum. Section 375 gives a glimpse of societal shame that the victim has to undergo right from lodging FIR to medical checkup. The questions asked by the medical examiner to Anjali about ejaculation and penetration will make you cringe.
