Nay: The film’s dialect proves to be a major hindrance and we struggled initially to get a hang of the language. Well, he doesn’t disappoint his fans here at all. Abhishek Chaubey has come to be recognised with a certain brand of dark, broody and intense characters even in the liveliest of moments and vice-versa. The costumes, to the dialect nothing has been compromised on.

The raw, rustic and arid environment have been beautifully captured so full marks to the cinematography department too. The most outstanding part of this desi western is the action and it is one of the most impressive we have seen in years. Another one that stood out was: ‘The government bullets can’t kill us, their promises do!’ Varun Grover’s lyrics in the songs have a haunting effect and the title track hits the right strings. The dialogue brings out and reflects the apathy of women in the Indian society. All women belong to the same caste and that caste is the lowest. We particularly liked the one that Phuliya (dacoit based on Phoolan Devi) tells Indumati – that all castes are meant to categorise the men. Sudip Sharma’s dialogues hit home and pack a punch. Bhumi shines as Indumati and the character overshadows the actor completely. Ashutosh and Manoj as always keep the bar high and interestingly Ranvir matches their tempo at every step. All actors deliver powerful performances and this one is Sushant’s best performance till date.
Yay: The treatment of the story is action-packed and does not have a single dull moment. It is along this journey, the director slyly and under the garb of entertainment, explores several issues plaguing the interiors of rural India – right from caste politics to gender politics, the hypocrisy of the society seeped in customs, to the encounters between the cops and the dacoits, where you can’t decide whom to label good or bad. Sushant forms a beautiful bond with the girl and getting her to the hospital becomes his sole purpose. The girl needs to be taken to the hospital within 48 hours, lest she dies of her injuries. The girl’s name is Sonchiriya and she has been raped. As they make good their escape, they come across Indumati (Bhumi Pednekar) who alongwith a 12-year-old girl is trying to escape some attackers. Only a handful of the baaghis survive the encounter. Rana here is not only doing his duty as police, but is driven more by personal vengeance.
Rana is relentless in his chase of the dacoits. The band decides to loot a wedding venue, where they have an encounter with the STF led by Virender Singh Gujjar (Ashutosh Rana). Seeking redemption, both in their own way try to grapple with remorse and pain, with Sushant constantly questioning their purpose as baaghis. The ground rules laid, we are shown right from the start that both Manoj and Sushant are haunted by the some ghost of their past killing and are somewhere in search of deliverance. And while these dacoits do not follow the laws of the government, they believe in the rules of the Chambal that are not meant to be broken – which include not killing women and children.
They call themselves baaghi, as they consider themselves to be rebels against the system, but their means to the end earns them the title of dacoits. Lakhna (Sushant Singh Rajput) and Vakil Singh (Ranvir Shorey) are part of this loyal band. What Sonchiriya is all about? The film is about a band of dacoits in the ravines of Chambal who seem to be surviving the hardships, rather than thriving, under the leadership of Man Singh (Manoj Bajpayee).
