Taapsee Pannu leads the film “Gandhari,” which centers on sex trafficking, in what reviewers describe as another thriller in a similar vein to “Mardaani.” The NDTV review frames the movie as content-heavy and focused on the lead performance, highlighting Pannu’s ability to carry a solo-led narrative.

Across the outlet’s writing, the emphasis stays on the film’s genre and execution rather than on outside controversy or major plot revelations. NDTV positions “Gandhari” as strengthening Pannu’s niche as a star for solo-led, thriller-style dramas dealing with trafficking themes. The two mentions of the film largely reiterate the same interpretation: that the movie relies on Pannu’s central presence and on the subject matter to drive engagement, with the review describing an “Mardaani”-like approach while focusing on her role as a key element of the film’s impact.
