The film achieves its target and makes you feel for the plight of Ammu. But despite its relevant story, the film could have been crisper, more engaging, more mature and less predictable.

Although movies about pressing social issues often take escapist exit routes, Ammu pays more attention than the rest to the harrowing journeys needed to reach the light.

This film shows how power can be misused within the executive branch. It reminds us that real change is not just about punishing the guilty, but also about fixing broken systems. Ammu makes it clear, we need serious reforms in how power is handled, especially by those meant to protect. A must-watch.

Look the movie has a predictable storyline ending, but it effectively conveys the pain and struggles of domestic violence survivors, as well as the difficulties of accessing support. In most Indian media, women's pain and their roles as wives are often trivialised. This film powerfully addresses these issues, reaching a broad audience. Definitely worth a watch if you something with depth.
