The concept of a spiritual connection bringing justice is unique. But I feel we need more than films - we need stricter laws, better education, and change in mindset from the ground up. Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao is not just a slogan.
Finally a film that doesn't shy away from the reality! We have come a long way but discrimination against girls still exists in many parts of rural India. This film might just create the necessary conversation. All the best to the team! 👏
The fact that it's inspired by true incidents makes it even more disturbing. We were so happy when my cousin was born - my uncle had tears of joy. I wish every family felt the same. We need to normalize loving daughters, not just sons. 💔
Good concept but I hope the execution matches the message. Too many social issue films become preachy and fail at the box office. The spiritual element with the river as witness sounds interesting though.
As someone whose sister was the first girl in our family to go to college and then become a doctor, this hits close to home. Our society has a long way to go. Films like REVA are necessary wake-up calls. Kudos to the entire team for taking up this subject. 🌸
