Wikipedia article
'W' is a 2014 Indian Hindi-language musical thriller film directed by Tarun Madan Chopra, based on a script written by Daboo Sardar Malik and Tarun Madan Chopra. The movie starred Leeza Mangaldas, Leslie Tripathy, Sonal Giani, Raaj Singh Arora, Abhey Jit Attri and Danish Pandor and released on 14 March 2014. It underperformed at the box office.
Synopsis
Sandy (Leeza Mangaldas), Ruhi (Leslie Tripathy), and Manu (Sonal Giani) are three best friends that run W, an event management company that focuses on music events. While traveling to 'The Freedom Concert', an event that was supposed to be their big break, they come across a group of misogynistic men who don't like how modern and self-sufficient the three women are and end up raping them. Because the three men are of good social standing, the police are particularly unhelpful and the women are traumatized by how they are treated afterwards. This prompts the three women to form the Vengeance Squad in order to take their own revenge against their rapists.

Reception
The 'Times of India' panned the film, giving it 1 1/2 stars and stating "There is no emotional conflict in the story that provokes you to think or get inspired. Situations are written to convenience the protagonists' quest for revenge. And they get it way too easy. The shallow treatment doesn't live up to the topic addressed."
'Business Insider' criticized the film as missing the "emotional pain and conflict" that similarly themed films such as 'Adalat o Ekti Meye' possessed, commenting that they felt 'W' was a "stereotype revenge drama that [worked] out all too smoothly".
Music
The film's music and background score is written and composed by Daboo Malik. The musical duo of Amaal Mallik and Armaan Malik will be contributing to the soundtrack as singers, as will Neha Bhasin, and Apeksha Dandekar.
