Anurag Kashyap is a talented director who often explores the dark side of the world in his movies. When I randomly came across this film when it was being aired on TV, I watched it. I was shocked to find that it was based on real events and almost nothing was fictionalized. BLACK FRIDAY is a shocking, heartbreaking and haunting crime saga which is as thrilling as it is emotional.
BLACK FRIDAY is a very dark film to the core, though there are a few naturally funny moments too. It's not a film for the faint of heart. The film is replete with violence, expletives and horrifying sequences, and it does complete justice to its subject. There are a lot of characters, and they are so realistically portrayed that you'll both love and hate them from time to time.
The film doesn't glorify crime in any way, and instead condemns it in the best possible way. Some dialogues are really hard-hitting and memorable enough to be remembered forever.
The usage of music throughout the film is excellent; it never hinders the film's pace. The action sequences are filmed very well, and add a haunting depth to the film. The cinematography adds a very realistic touch to the film as well.
The climax left me speechless and breathless, plus the rolling title credits accompanied by a dark and haunting song broke my heart into many pieces.
BLACK FRIDAY is a brilliantly made film, and there are no two opinions on this. It takes a lot courage to make films like this, and I really salute Anurag for choosing to make and stand by the film, when the world seemed to stand against him.
