Sherni 2021

Sherni ( transl. Tigress) is a 2021 Indian Hindi-language thriller film directed by Amit V. Masurkar and produced by T-Series and Abundantia Entertainment. The film stars Vidya Balan in the leading role of an Indian Forest Service officer, alongside Sharat Saxena, Vijay Raaz, Ila Arun, Brijendra Kala, Neeraj Kabi and Mukul Chaddha in supporting roles. The film premiered on Amazon Prime Video on 18 June 2021. The film deals with human–wildlife conflict and wildlife conservation. The title of the film is a bit of a misnomer, as in Hindi sherni properly refers to a lioness, while the formal word for a tigress is baghin. However the word sherni is also frequently used to refer to tigresses. Sherni received positive reviews from the film critics for raising awareness about the importance of wildlife conservation and Balan's performance.
