Pooja Meri Jaan Review: Important Story on Consent and Accountability with Mixed Execution
Pooja Meri Jaan, directed by Navjot Gulati and streaming on Zee5, explores the consequences of a woman's rejection of a man's romantic advances leading to his suicide and her subsequent legal trial. The film stars Mrunal Thakur as Pooja and Huma Qureshi as her lawyer Sana. Critics praise the performances and the film's important social message on consent and victim-blaming but note that the screenplay lacks tension, becomes predictable, and the courtroom drama feels rushed, limiting its overall impact.
