Patna’s cinema scene lit up Monday night with the blockbuster premiere of ‘Aussie,’ Anubhav Sinha’s poignant exploration of justice and gender violence. Taapsee Pannu leads a stellar lineup including Kani Kusruti, Revathi, Manoj Pahwa, Kumud Mishra, and Mohammad Zeeshan Ayyub, delivering a narrative that’s as thought-provoking as it is intense.
The house was packed, with Super 30’s Anand Kumar and other prominent figures adding prestige to the occasion. This turnout signals a thriving market for cinema that dares to delve into societal sores.
Taapsee Pannu addressed the cheering crowd, crediting their support for enabling such gritty projects. ‘Spread the word if the issue moves you,’ she said, praising Bihar’s discerning audiences who value substance in stories.
Penned by Sinha and Gaurav Solanki, ‘Aussie’ chronicles a lawyer’s courtroom crusade in a savage rape case, spotlighting the grim reality of 80 rapes reported daily in the nation—hence the title’s bite.
Post-screening, applause echoed relentlessly, and thrilled patrons declared, ‘The movie is outstanding!’ Accolades flowed for the tight script, emotional depth in performances, and unflagging commitment to the cause.
This premiere transcended a mere movie event, fostering a platform for reflection on women’s safety. With the team’s dedication evident, it’s now up to viewers to propel ‘Aussie’ into a broader movement for change.
