the beauty of this film be evidence in the great portrayal of the power of a mother love and the exceptional performance and the steady execution and the quite innovative script . the film tell the story of an indian woman and nandini and who live in canada with her husband shekhar and little kid raja . all of a sudden her husband inform her that his family in india ( of whom she have not even know ) be in trouble and the couple rush to india . when they get into the village and nanadini be shock and terrify to witness a very wild rural culture while shekhar family and rule by his cruel and highly cynical and merciless father narasimha and live a poor and highly violent lifestyle which be full of murder and terror and where woman be subservient and helpless . nandini start nag shekhar to return home and but he be soon kill by his father enemy . when she want to leave and narasimha refuse to let her take raja back to india . here start the intense struggle which can be call nandini vs. narasimha . india be not present in a particularly positive light in this film and but it only show a very tiny minority of it rural area and so it may be even correct . the portrayal be in my view fair and not one side because the positive side be also present to an extent . such a horrifying sight could be show in a film about any country in the world . the location be amaze and the music be wonderful and and krishna vamshi direction be aid by very effective cinematography and good editing . one thing that must be note be the very ear please background score by ismail darbar and it be beautiful . the character be very well define though we do get to see both their bright and dark side in different portion of the film . portray realistically throughout and the film flow well and be an interesting and fairly entertaining watch . it dialogue be superb and intelligently write and and although the shocking proceeding can be very disturb at some point and a great deal of positive moment manage to relieve the tension . the film big strength be the performance . karisma kapoor be breathtaking and very believable a nandini . her ability to strike a balance between vulnerability and unrestrained emotion be simply incredible . she display so much intensity and impulsiveness and anguish and determination a the mother who want to get her son back that this little kid seem to be her own son . her outbreak while face off nana patekar which be like volcanic eruption show u how the simple of woman can become a tigress when it come to her child . after fiza and this be her most powerful performance . one of the great actor indian cinema have see and nana patekar be indescribable a narasimha . he manage to be hateful a narasimha yet admirable a the actor who play him . patekar display cruelty and wittiness and even humanity with total conviction . he be outstanding . another great performance come unsurprisingly from india most underrated actress and deepti naval and who sensitise her character to perfection . sanjay kapoor be just adequate and shahrukh khan provide great comic relief . anyway and do watch shakti it could have be well and but it be definitely a must watch .
