Indu Sarkar: Set in the backdrop of Emergency, this movie has managed to ruffle a lot of feathers. It looks like a great story of a woman who overcomes all her fears and stands up for what she feels is right. With actors such as Kirti Kulhari, Anupam Kher, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Tota Roy Chowdhary in the lead, one should expect some great performance. Another plus is that it is directed by National Award-award winning director Madhur Bhandarkar and releases on July 28.
