Gauri - The Unborn
|
The film basically speaks against the practice of abortion. And the abortion shown here is not the mandatory Bollywood pre-marital or post-rape abortion but a mutually consented one between a happily married couple. But the director endorses his outlook of not tampering with the fetus once it’s conceived which might not be a universally welcome idea. The thought that a fetus in womb is ‘ bhagwaan ki daen ’ and shouldn’t be manipulated with might sound somewhat outdated in the cyber-age. |

Gauri – The Unborn falls into two unusually diverse genres of being a ‘horror’ and ‘social’ film at the same time. If you watch it from the former viewpoint, the film has a couple of thrilling moments to offer. If you watch it from the latter viewpoint, the acceptance of the moral becomes subjective.
