Following the recent wave of short films addressing feminist (or maybe humanist) issues, such as the brilliant Juice (2018) starring Shefali Shah, Devi is one good piece, although it could have been even better. Set in one house during one continuous 13-minute episode, the film introduces a group of women who've been staying in this apartment, which apparently serves as a metaphor for afterlife. All of them, of varied ages and sociocultural backgrounds, are bound together by virtue of them being women, and to be precise, women who've been through abuse, mostly sexual, but not necessarily so, as it appears. The film presents their stories through all their differences in both attitude and mentality, and it does so really well, capturing their disputes and tiny conflicts so as to show how the little that unites them is far greater than what divides them.

Devi is a strong commentary on a society where female deities are worshipped but women are much less respected. The film is symbolically impactive, but the abundance of characters might have been better resolved had some of it been just a little less suggestive of what had happened and actually given more information. Here too we have a wonderful group of actresses, brilliantly led by Kajol, who is palpably vulnerable and distraught. Much of the tension is courtesy her, as she dictates the mood with her strong presence. Obviously Neena Kulkarni is next to marvel at given a showy role but a remarkably realistic performance, and Neha Dhupia acts well against her. Mukta Barve is very impressive, and all the rest of them do their bits part exceedingly well, helping create a nice prologue to the moving ending and the final, explanatory credits.

"Devi" was A best short Film To Watch.

Multi-starrer Short film, Story was really good and Good Message to Our Country.

I usually don't write reviews. But this one.. it's a shame living in a country where women are not safe, leve women, even 7 months daughter is also not safe.

Worth watching. No words.

That's how a short can be made. Priyanka Banerjee has done a great job. A tale of nine women navigating through an unusual sisterhood thrust upon them by circumstances. So, what are those circumstances, for that you have to give your 13 minutes to it. A Must Watch With Brilliant Performances by Ensemble Cast.

After 7:00 u will realise it's not ordinary, there's something different and slowly slowly you will be just awed 🤐🙄😶😶

This movie itself has lots of hidden stories. Not only for one generation, this movie is for everyone from any decade. Full of emotional touch and sensitive issues. Best story and screenplay was awsome. Everyone did their job so well.. Their pain was clearly visible in their faces. Worth watching

Issue is sensitive, and execution is excellent. Performances, they all were top-notch. Yeah there are some flaws but let's Focus on the issue which is being represented very neatly. this need to be spread.

Even Im From Pakistan , You Have To Stop This , Woman Has To Live Save Wheather Is India Pakistan Or What So Ever , We Have To Stop This , Our Woman's Has A Right Too Live Normal !

We need more films like this for all women apically india .. were women treats like a machine or an item for some men .. no matter how old you were .. for them you are a women but not a human

Beautiful Short Film & Gd Message Watch it Guys.....

To tell a story that carries-upon its shoulders-the weight of a mountain is not the work of an ordinary director. The film cushions the truth for the bigger part of the work before succumbing to its injuries.

Jaw dropping.

In per capita rapes, India stands at 1.81 while USA at 27.31 and Britain 27.29

• as per the data of 2010

I'm not telling that India is the best country because the rates happens to be low here, I'm just saying that this is an issue of every society, and we should equally bring all society offender, just creating stereotypes on one particular community, nationality, religion makes this all more of a political drama, and creates a matter of racism that Indians online and outside face from outsiders.
