Some movies just escape our attention. They get released but are somehow lost in so many big releases that keep on happening.
Gurgaon is one such film. The movie is based on the disturbing practice of honor killing that happens in many parts of India even now. The film stars Pankaj Tripathi, Akshay Oberoi, Ragini Khanna, and Arjun Fauzdar.
The movie is called Gurgaon because it is set in the city of Gurugram, Haryana. But, it represents this widespread problem that has infected so many parts of India.
The movie is set around a family where Pankaj Tripathi is the head of the family. He has a daughter and a son, and out of them he clearly favors his daughter. The son often feels sidelined and tries to kidnap his own sister in need of some money. What happens next is too intriguing and it is based on real life incidents.
Gurgaon is a dark film that you can officially watch for free on YouTube and Disney+Hotstar. Mind you, the director has taken a very raw approach to making the film.
So you will come across some scenes and situations that may appear unsettling to you. Still, if you want to watch Gurgaon then do so over the weekend.
