Manoj Bajpayee starrer 'Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai' was released on streaming platform ZEE5 on Tuesday (May 23) Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai literally translates to "only one man is enough" in English. There's nothing better that can describe Bajpayee's acting in the film than the title. Released on Tuesday on Read our review of this brilliant courtroom drama. The courage of minor victim, her parents, and their lawyer The story begins at Kamla Nagar Police Station in New Delhi when a minor, accompanied by her parents, files a complaint of sexual assault against an influential self-styled godman. The two-hour-long film then goes on to show the victim's journey to justice fought by a lawyer, PC Solanki (Bajpayee), over a period of five years in It is no ordinary courtroom drama Director Apoorv Singh Karki took the daunting task of narrating the victim's story in a tightly directed film of two hours. The director neither sensationalized nor over-dramatized the courtroom scenes, never drifting from the topic. The chase scene in the bylanes of Jodhpur city where goons are trying to attack Solanki, is a brilliantly shot scene, winning big on cinematography too. Bajpayee delivered yet another power-packed performance Needless to say, Bajpayee is an actor par excellence. He plays a simple man who is sensitive, isn't completely fearless (he fears for his son's safety) but is determined to not bow down to the wrong. Bajpayee has portrayed every nuance perfectly, including Solanki's star-s...

From its title, Apoorv Singh Karki's Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai posits that just one person is enough. For what? Perhaps for change, for revolution, for a fight. An evocative Manoj Bajpayee plays the role of a lawyer PC Solanki who is approached by a minor girl's parents to fight a case against a godman Baba. The film is 'inspired' by the highly-publicised Asaram Bapu case wherein the godman was charged with rape of a minor in 2013. As a performance, Bajpayee is magic on the screen as he wears his character like a second skin. He gets the mannerisms and emotional heft required by his character down to a T. He is no unshakeable hero; he's afraid when he is being followed or sees violence unfurl in front of him. But in the courtroom, his arena, he is driven by a conviction and a hunger for the truth. At the same time, he is an ardent supporter of Lord Shiva and often quotes scripture. He is positioned as a man who understands the difference between reverence and blind faith. But there are issues as well. In focusing on the ek bandaa (one man) at the centre of the courtroom drama, we see little of the stories bubbling around him. The way the pressure of "proving" allegations of sexual misconduct falls on the survivor is hinted at but not explored. At the same time, we only see some goons doing Baba's dirty work but the film doesn't delve into how people have been driven to crime and hatred just because of their support of a godman.What makes people instantly put someone on a pe...

The lawyers state that the film is highly objectionable and defamatory towards their client and can tarnish his reputation and hit the sentiments of his devotees and followers, according to the report. The producer of the film confirmed the news to the Times of India. “Yes, we have got the notice and our lawyers will decide the next move. We have made a biopic on PC Solanki and I had bought the rights from him to make this film. Now, if someone is saying that the film is based on them, they can think whatever they can and we can't stop that.
