“3 Kanya” is a psychological thriller and bears no resemblance with the “3 Kanya” film directed by Satyajit Ray. This Agnidev Chatterjee film is about 3 different women. First, we get to meet the young journalist Aparna. She deals with the story of Nancy, who has been raped by 3 men when the victim met the culprits in a nightclub. On the other side, she is also suffering from problems regarding her marriage, as she suspects him to have an affair with Damini Mishra.

The rape victim Nancy, later is found out to be a prostitute and she is detected to be HIV Positive. The other woman, who is the third woman in this story, Damini Mishra, is a police inspector. She is very strong-willed and a very capable officer. Also, she has got some connections with the first woman, Aparna. Any guesses what can be the connection?

Aparna is also a patient, as we come to know later that she suffers from multi-personality disorder. She is under a perception that the IPS inspector is having an affair with her husband and she comes to terms with the underworld don Rajatava Dutta. Later, Ananya wants to kill Damini.

 The second half of the story is bewildering. There is no link with the first part, too many unexpected things happen and burden the minds of the audience. At one point of time, we get to see Damini having physical intimacy with Aparna’s husband, next we see Rajatava, after that we see the two women Damini and Aparna at loggerheads. Soon after, Aparna is seen murdering people. All these create a “khichdi” and a total nonsense flick. No storyline, no continuation, what were the makers thinking while making this film?

Agnidev has tried to make Aparna, the character, to do various things and he wanted to fit a lot of different characteristics into that one role. So, Rituparna Sengupta as Aparna confuses us throughout the movie. It seemed to be the most aimless character in the movie. However, Ananya Chatterjee as Nancy acted superb. She as the rape victim, brings out the true agony of a rape victim as well as the sex worker who has been burdened with questions like ‘can a prostitute be raped?’ Well, Agnidev did not attempt to answer the question.

Unnati Davra has made a debut in Tollywood as the IPS officer Damini Mishra. She looks ultra-glamarous. Her voice has been dubbed by actress Koneenica Banerjee. Unnati is fit to be a romantic ultra-glam heroine, but hey this is a serious role! Police inspectors should mind about society more than applying makeup and walking as if to catch attention of the crowd. Right?

Indradeep Dasgupta’s music is only the positive aspect in this movie. Some of the songs are really melodious while others are foot-tapping numbers. The song sung jointly by Ustad Rashid Khan and Shreya Ghosal, ‘Yaad Piya Ki Aye’ is awesome. While Monali Thakur and Arijit Singh sung the song ‘Gole Male’ which is rocking.
