4.0 out of 5 stars very powerful movie as the title appropriately suggests., February 9, 2005

By	Hetal Patel "het12821" (skokie, IL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Shakti (DVD)

This is an excellent movie if you are into feminism and can get past the gory details. It is quite a powerful movie and Karisma has really proved herself as an actress in this movie. It's about a mother's fight for her child. Nana Patekar and Sanjay Kapoor also star in this jam-packed film. It's definitely a must see for any women (as well as any daring men).

5.0 out of 5 stars Great powerful Hindi film championing women, March 9, 2009

By	T. Simmons "Bhakti Lakshmi" (Florida/California, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This film is intense and very riveting. I enjoyed every moment and did not know what to expect next. This movie really champions the power of the woman. I see why it is named Shakti. I originally bought this movie mainly because Shakti is my daughter's name and it is great for her to see her name as the title of a film. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I geniunely enjoyed the film as well. Of course, I routinely watch Hindi films because I love the singing, the romance, the adventure and how much is put into each film. I think the plot and story line is very good and one worth watching.
