Movie Review: Provoked

Provoked is the true story of an Indian woman in the UK, beaten and abused by her husband for ten years, before one night, having had enough, she sets him on fire. She is arrested for murder, and goes to jail - until her retrial and early release a few years later.

The story, though bland, has a strong emotional chord to it, and a good actress in the lead role could have done wonders - Aishwarya is OK, she does decently well in a couple of scenes, but most of the time I found her wanting. Nandita is wasted - hardly has any role to play.

The movie itself - well, life's serious enough, I fail to see why you should watch the movie!
