Revenge films are all about imparting justice and restoring order. They talk to out basic and primitive instinct of revenge, which we also know by other names like vengeance, retribution or retaliation. No other feeling but revenge is the most powerful feeling which had overpowered our history and our religion.
You are well acquainted with this emotion but you are not well acquainted with right kind of revenge films. Because of typically irritating bollywood revenge films the genre has always been projected as a triumph of the virtue over the vice; good finally winning against bad; hero killing the villain.
But what happens when the line between virtue and vice; good and bad; hero and villain starts getting blurred? When this line gets blurred and a little boy from Mumbai slums stands against the sexual harassment of his mentally retired younger sister, you get to see the most interesting short film I have ever seen, Manjha.
