Anubhav Sinha and Gaurav Solanki have written a story which meanders here and there and, therefore, loses in impact.On the whole, Assi is a poor show all the way.

Ratings: 3/5 Review By: Shubhra Site: Indian Express
It is an in-your-face sequence, but then this whole film is totally and deliberately in your face, with the filmmakers clearly hoping that you will never be able to get it out of your mind and heart, even if the frequent usage of the red screen borders perilously close to being gimmicky. It holds up a mirror to those who refuse to acknowledge just how hard it is for women to be out on their own, whether they are in playgrounds, using public transport, crossing roads, or, even their own homes. No place is safe.

Assi packs a lot in its 2 hour 14 minute-runtime, touching upon several themes of locker room conversation, consent, shame, corruption, vigilante justice, trial on social media, future of children, and accountability of adults. Good intentions but not everything adds up.

Seven years after Article 15, audiences have changed and largely evolved. But they
too need a more coherent, conclusive and compelling climax. In that sense, Assi, despite all the high ambitions of looking at rape, one of society’s worst social evils, falls short.

She’s wonderfully affectionate even after being mauled by a bunch of monsters. And these perpetrators also get their fair share of attention, sometimes sprinkled with humour. Sinha kind of ensures this is no partisan filmmaking (à la Section 375). And he extracts a tearful performance from the star of the show. Kani never once bellows. And commands the camera with her bruises and balls. Assi needed more balls and badassery. It needed to be more meticulously executed. And and and more crucially; it feels Anubhav Sinha genuinely needs to explore more actors for his ensembles. Making history with the same people may not be viable every time.

Yes, Assi is an urgent watch. Ultimately, films like Assi matter not because they depict brutality but because they force us to confront the everyday silences that surround it. The survivor’s struggle and a female lawyer’s frustration become a mirror to a society that still hesitates to listen, believe and act. Assi deliberately broke from star-driven promotion by positioning itself as a writer-first film. And needless to say, both Anubhav and Gaurav Solanki deserve a mention for a sensitive portrayal of a woman survivor, a woman lawyer and a woman judge along with a doting husband and a bereaved widower, coloured with both empathy and strength.

You may walk out debating the film’s craft, its choices, even its tone. What is harder to debate is the reality it gestures toward. Because somewhere, every twenty minutes, another story begins or ends.

Overall, even when it stumbles in the latter half, Assi’s intent remains sincere, and it’s gaze stays firmly with the survivor rather than the spectacle around her. This is not a comfortable film, nor does it aim to be. It wants to provoke, to keep the wound open just long enough for the viewer to sit with the discomfort. Assi may not always find the most nuanced way to make its point, but its heart is in the right place, and in today’s climate, that urgency still counts for something.

Assi is an important film. It compels you to think and brings forward a serious issue in society. It has its strengths as well as its flaws. The story is strong, but the writing and presentation fall short in places. Among the performances, Kani Kusruti stands out the most.The film is not perfect, but its subject is significant. It may not fully satisfy, but it certainly makes you think.

Taapsee Pannu’s Assi is driven by intent, solid performances and confident direction. Although the film stumbles in the second half, it still remains a relevant and thought provoking watch. The movie stays with you for long after the credit roll ends.
