Actress Sharvari Wagh visited the Siddhivinayak temple today, August 15, hours after the release of her film, Vedaa. Sharvari and John Abraham’s Vedaa hit the theatres today along with Shraddha Kapoor-Rajkummar Rao’s Stree 2 and Akshay Kumar-Taapsee Pannu starrer Khel Khel Mein.
The actress took blessings at the temple after the release of her film. She looked radiant in a yellow salwar-kurta set with floral patterns. It is an interesting time for Sharvari in her career. Her last film, Munjya, was a hit and she is now shooting for Alpha with Alia Bhatt as Vedaa is in the theatres.
Inspired by true and harrowing events, Vedaa delves into the dark and brutal world of caste-based violence and social discrimination. Drawing from the tragic stories of Manoj-Babli, victims of a heinous honor killing, and Meenakshi Kumari, who was subjected to a barbaric punishment by an all-male village council, the film centres on three key characters caught in the storm of societal injustice. Vedaa, portrayed by Sharvari Wagh, is a passionate law student with a deep interest in boxing. She lives a contented life with her sister Geetanjali, brother Vinod, and their parents until a sudden turn of events pulls them into a nightmarish reality.
News18 Showsha gave the film 3/5 stars. Our review of the film read, “On the acting front, Sharvari Wagh delivers a standout performance, showcasing a remarkable range that surprises and captivates. Whether portraying fierce determination, fear, or confusion, Sharvari handles each emotion with finesse, never compromising her craft. Her ability to transition seamlessly between different states of mind adds depth to her character and solidifies her presence on screen.”
The review mentioned, “Vedaa may lean on the familiar good versus evil narrative, which could feel clichéd at times, but it succeeds in drawing you into its powerful message against caste-based discrimination and oppression. Through the perspective of a woman determined to challenge a corrupt and malevolent system, the film explores the deeply entrenched injustices that plague society.”
“Despite its flaws, Vedaa remains an entertaining and thought-provoking watch, effectively engaging the audience with its strong themes and compelling storyline. While the climax may not fully measure up to the film’s potential when compared to others in the genre, the journey it takes you on is undeniably gripping, making Vedaa a worthwhile experience,” the review also read.
