Vedaa movie review
The film Vedaa - Samvidhan Ka Rakshak  revolves around Vedaa Bhairva (Sharvari) who signs up for a rigorous boxing training camp in her college even while she is aware that this step will invite opposition from the village pradhan’s Jitin Pratap Singh’s family, (Abhishek Banerjee) but wants to take that chance, especially since for her, boxing is the way out of her oppressive life in Barmer.

Inspired by real-life stories 'Vedaa' speaks out loud against caste- based injustices and crimes. When a court-martialled Army Major, Abhimanyu (John Abraham) comes to Barmer, winds of change begin to sweep in. He takes Vedaa under his wing and starts training her to beco ....
