The film deals with human–wildlife conflict and wildlife conservation.[9] The title of the film is a bit of a misnomer, as in Hindi sherni properly refers to a lioness, while the formal word for a tigress is baghin.[10][11][12] However the word sherni is also frequently used to refer to tigresses.[13] Sherni received positive reviews from the film critics for raising awareness about the importance of wildlife conservation and Balan's performance.[14]
