Maatr
Starring Raveena Tandon, Madhur Mittal, Anurag Arora
Directed by Ashtar Sayed
A raucous raga on the aftermath of rape, much of Maatr unfolds in a stern humourless no-nonsense manner of a fact-finding newshound who won’t go into digressions—because the film’s heroine knows what one wrong turn can do– just to keep the audience’s perception lightened.Which is for the best, really.In India we can’t afford to laugh about rape the way the French could in the film Elle.
MaatrMaatr aims to do. It strips the act of rape of all its filmy glamour and titillating trappings to portray the agony of a woman who watches her minor daughter gangraped, after she is raped herself.

Actress Raveena Tandon, who will soon be seen in the drama revenge thriller Maatr has written an open letter to the nation.
“Crimes in India have been on a constant rise of late. As a mother, this really scares me. Sometimes, we read about horrifying incidents in the newspapers or watch these gruesome acts being discussed on television; during such times, my worst fears begin to haunt me. As a mother, a person’s thoughts are a lot different than how they would have been otherwise.
As of today, more than 34,000 rape cases are lodged every year, which is just a miniscule fraction of incidents that have actually occurred. Because of this, I am always on my guard. My blood boils when I read about people being harmed, about young boys and girls and their helpless parents.
Dear young boys, all I can tell you is Stop. Stop objectifying women.
