There was a delay due to the Kovid epidemic and the film was completed last year. However, before its release, the film was also surrounded by many controversies, including allegations of tampering with the original story of the film. But finally, it has come to theaters on Friday, March 21, 2025.
Story of 'Snow White'
Although you all must have heard or read the story of Snow White and the seven dwarfs, but if we talk about the story of this film, then it is the story of a princess of a kingdom. Snow White (Rachel Jagler) was born on the night of a snowstorm. Shortly after her birth, her mother died. While the father married the new queen (Gal Gadot). Although the new queen is very beautiful to look at, she is very evil. In reality she is a sorceress. She deceitfully sends the king out of the kingdom and gets him killed and herself becomes the queen.
After her father's death and under the rule of her stepmother, Snow White's status becomes like that of a maid. Despite this, she follows her father's path and keeps thinking about the welfare of the people. With time, Snow White grows up and becomes very beautiful. One day, the queen's magic mirror shows Snow White to be even more beautiful than her. Irritated by this, the queen orders Snow White to be sent to the forest and killed. Now, is Snow White able to defeat the witch queen and regain her father's kingdom? To know this, you will have to go to the cinema.
'Snow White' Movie Review
The film's director Mark Webb took the responsibility of bringing the famous story of Snow White and the seven dwarfs to the big screen and he was successful to a great extent. The film engages you right from the beginning. Its story progresses slowly. You wait for a high point to come after the interval, but by then the climax comes and the film ends. There is a lot in this film based on a very interesting story, but its weakest point is that it does not have any high point.
Rachel Jagler has done a great job in the role of Snow White. Her innocence and simplicity are amazing. Gal Gadot has also done a great job in the role of the evil queen and witch. However, if she had looked a little more cruel, she could have impressed the audience more.
The music of this musical film helps in taking the story forward. The work of the rest of the actors is also good.
