Mardaani is a film about the social and economic pressures of urban India's law enforcement system, and police officer Shivani Shivpuri (played by Madhavi Menon) who endures the troubles of enforcing strict morality laws. The film is framed as a series of images, showing real-life scenes from Mumbai, juxtaposed with scenes from its fictional counterpart. The movie's aesthetic message is one that does not shy away from confronting society’s darker truths. With such an engaging, thought-provoking story at its core, Mardaani has been one of 2018’s most critically acclaimed movies so far. The film opens with a sequence of the title character Shivani Shivpuri (played by Madhavi Menon) enduring a treacherous rain-drenched ride to work. When she finally arrives at the police station, she is greeted by Inspector Devraj, her supervisor and tormentor and then by files and reports and anxious phone calls from home that require her to cancel dinner plans with her husband and daughter. She brushes off everyone’s worries – the anxious husband, the obligatory phone call from home – and goes to investigate a case about drugs mentioned in a tip her department received. The drug addict in question is shown to be Shivani’s childhood friend who is also a suspect in a murder. Shivani has spent most of her adult life on the streets. She has friends and enemies alike, but she truly cares for them all. When she first starts as a police officer, a buddy asks her to take him along on some of her arrests and asks her what she would do if he were arrested as well. "I wouldn't let you go," she replies. No one knows what Shivani is capable of, and neither does she. She has no idea how cruel she can be, and no one else seems to know either. Shivani is a soft-spoken and polite woman, whose soft voice and sweetness reminds one of a sweet first-year college student making her way through her first day at the police academy. But when she enters the interrogation room for the drug addict, there is something different in her voice, something scary. There are some lines that have not been cleared in the film's script yet, but it's clear that someone had crossed personal boundaries with Shivani in this early scene. When Shivani interrogates her friend, it is clear that he has told her about the murder. Her face is all business, and she takes out his stash of drugs and asks him to snort it so she can catch him. The film was shot at Mumbai Police Headquarters, where Madhavi had to go through extensive training on how to behave like an officer who handles high profile cases. She was required to spend time with cops like Shivani would spend her days - attending meetings, hanging around the canteen and work place offices, discussions between officers about various cases etc., in order to get a hang of her character's life at work. cfa1e77820
