paanch is the directorial debut of Anurag Kashyap. As the movie is yet to be released Black Friday is regarded as his first feature film. Anurag is not only my fav Indian director but also one of the favs around the globe. Yet I found this piece to be a big disappointment. Kashyap wasted a brilliant story (loosely based on the real incident of a series of murders by 4 creative art students of Pune)
The first problem of the movie is, it is awfully long (159mins). And the first 74 min of it could have easily been concise into 20 minits. After that it is quite gripping, but again at the end twist, after twist, after twist made it a boring.
I guess AK was furious when it did not release. I believe actually it was good for him. because now people say he came into business with a bang like black Friday
