Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai stars Manoj Bajpayee along with Adrija Sinha and Surya Mohan Kulshrestha in pivotal roles. The storyline follows Manoj’s character, PC Solanki, a lawyer, fighting the case for Nu Singh, played by Adrija. Nu is a minor who was sexually assaulted by the self-styled godman, played by Surya (he is referred to as ‘baba’ in the film). Bandaa sees Solanki doing everything in his will to bring justice to Nu under the POCSO Act, The Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012. In the process, he is attacked by goons but never loses hope. Solanki is a simple man living in Jodpur with his mom and son, and he constantly fears their safety. In the film, only Solanki’s name remains unchanged, while others are given screen names.
You don’t need an extraordinary man to shake the entire nation and PC Solanki, (Poonam Chand Solanki) proved that when he advocated on behalf of the rape victim in the Asaram case. He was the man who stared at death and won. He fought without fear! So, when a biopic is made on him, the makers did an excellent job in casting Manoj Bajpayee to portray him. He is your neighbour next door, kicking his scooter every morning to go to work.
