Nani Sahra Wallker makes a sensitive, nuanced, character driven instructional film that is a refreshing contrast to the Afterschool Special or American approach to depicting child sexual abuse while tackling other hot button issues.

Shakti doesn't make empty promises nor does it reward our faithfulness with Nani Sahra Walker's extraordinary storytelling. Instead, it presents to us the lives of Durga, Lila, and Maya and reminds us that they matter. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Surya K @Surya_Komal_critic Aug 27, 2026 Shakti is a heavy but meaningful drama that brings together social inequality, women’s safety, caste discrimination, trauma, motherhood and the failures of systems meant to protect vulnerable people. Nani Sahra Walker manages to fit these subjects into Durga and Lila’s story without making the film feel like a collection of disconnected social issues. It is the emotional core of the mother-daughter relationship that holds everything together. The social commentary gives the film its voice, the trauma gives it emotional weight, and the performances make those experiences believable. See more Read all reviews
