And that is how you see Sonakshi Sinha in the AR Murugadoss film as she goes about fighting violence against women as well as cliches of how actresses in Bollywood are supposed to be. Sonakshi plays a college student from a dysfunctional family. Short on temper and quick to let her fists do the talking, Sonakshi is a misfit in her small town. Her parents send her to Mumbai, hoping the big city will calm...
