Whats Good: Nil Battey Sannata is an extremely realistic, straight from the heart lm. This poignant story appeals to
you instantly and is a perfect film to promote girl-education.

Whats Bad: A preachy end, slightly puts you back into the seat from this otherwise realistic film.

Loo Break: Only the interval!

Watch or Not?: Surely watch! This lm is a beautiful mother-daughter story that will no matter what be relatable to
everyone from their growing up years. These are the kind of lms that prove cinema is all about story-telling and not
star values!

Chanda Sahay (Swara Bhaskar) is a hard-working woman who manages several small jobs to provide for her daughters
education. She works as a maid and is lucky to have found an employer (Ratna Pathak Shah) who encourages her

towards working hard on her daughters education. Apeksha (Ria Shukla) is her teenage daughter who has somehow
managed to make it to her 10th standard. She is Nil Battey Sannata as they say at Maths. Academically unambitious,
Apeksha feels her mother wont afford her further education and hence stops taking her studies seriously.

Afraid that all her hard-work on getting her daughter interested in studying are going a waste, Chanda is soon advised
by her employer to study herself. Chanda enrolls in the same class as her daughter and that starts to irk Apeksha.

Will Chanda joining school help her daughter realize her dream is what the rest of the plot is about.

Nil Battey Sannata Review: Script Analysis

The script is winner in Nil Battey Sannata. The slice of life lm has so much to oer emotionally that it connects
instantly. Capturing the mother-daughter spirit astoundingly, it also celebrates the beauty of education. The kind of
confidence that it provides to a person is shown beautifully in this film.

Maths is one subject that has haunted many lives including mine and hence the portions of learning it fun away are
appealing. One of the most great things said in the lm about Math is the fact that how in most cases, the question
itself has the answers and hence if you dont read the question properly, you cannot get the answers. Of course its the
same with life and with such subtle references, this script appeals.

All the characters in this lm have been crafted with immense thought. The one that catches the eye other than
Chanda and her daughter would certainly be the principal (Pankaj Tripathi). A man who is reluctant at start to accept a
full-grown lady to join school but soon turns encouraging with his noble heart.

The scenes where Chanda and her employer conversate are crucial portions of the narrative that inspiring.

It is stirring, the way the themes of aspirations and motherhood are captured in this tale.

Nil Battey Sannata Review: Star Performance

Swara Bhaskar has been in supporting roles in most lms lately and heres a lm that proves why she deserved a solo
since start. She is an actress with great potential and as Chanda does full justice to her role. She looks extremely
comfortable in her role and emotes with such great effect that it is impossible not to feel for her character.

Ria Shukla too does a great job as the rebellious teenage daughter. Her act is captivating enough.

Pankaj Tripathi is more often seen pulling o negative roles but it is a welcome change to see him like this. Only an
actor of his caliber can pull off a role this sweet.

Ratna Pathak Shah is effortlessly good in her role of the employer.

Nil Battey Sannata Review: Direction, Music

Ashwini Iyer Tiwari debuts as a director with this lm and we have to say she strikes gold. Right from the rst frame,
she keeps it simple and thats what works wonders.

The best part is, the director makes sure that her lm is not all talk and no play. In a serious plot, the regular inclusion
of light humor is appreciative and the only mistake remains to be a preachy end. Had they resorted to a regular
ending, the film could have made its point even more clearer.

Interesting thing about this lm is that at no point are you expected to feel pity for Chandas character. You respect the
character from start and thats what the director aims to show.

The good part is that the film manages to make a strong point in just 95 minutes.

Nil Battey Sannata Review: The Last Word

Nil Battey Sannata is a beautiful lm surrounding a mother-daughter relationship. For being not too preachy, nostalgic
for all parents as well as kids and emotionally riveting, I am going with a 4/5.
