“In my view, Mardaani is the first Indian film that tries to understand and effectively highlight the heinous issue of girl child trafficking. I compliment the filmmakers especially Rani Mukerji for a very convincing portrayal of her character as a police officer fighting this malice. We, at Bachpan Bachao Andolan had declared a holiday and taken the entire team to watch the film and everyone was extremely inspired by her act. ” he added that his entire team of workers had taken a day off for the first time together to watch the film and felt extremely motivated and identified with Shivani’s character and felt she was one of them fighting tirelessly towards saving the victims.
Rani also pledged to give her full support to help eradicate this evil.
