Bheed (2023)
An exhilarating piece of cinema potraying the aftermaths of a contagion. A gritty and brave document capturing the mindsets of millions.
The only thing i wanted after the movie finished in theatres was to hug Anubhav sinha for his grit. A true grit in true sense. The grey and cinematic experience created by this film is one of a kind. To consolidate as many crucial as well excruciating topics as it could was merely a good choice for the story to be a presentable one on the table. Other wise it was a short film tbh. I have been a cheerful admirer of anubhav since article 15. The technical aspects he carefully incorporates into his film makes it look like a big budget "drama". I bow down for his sheer dedication towards the craft that he understands goes into the film. The score by Dhakde was absolutely phenomenal. Haven't praised an indian original score in a long time. This is both, the kind of film India deserves and it needs right now. Merely 30 people in the theatre. Everyone at that moment surely developed a taste in films i really wanted them to im sure sinha also wants the same and believe me when i say i think they did. They clapped at the end. Waited for all the credits to roll out. See everyone who made this film possible. All this while still sitting on their seats. What an experience i had. Soumik's cinematography made me search his works immediately i reached home. Brilliant. Neat yet so strikingly dark. Sound design was so good. More than visual treat i would say the sound impressed me more. It was so good to see Aditya srivastava. I love his presence in any film. I have been seeing him anurag kashyap's movies and he is exhilarating in this as well just like everybody else. Anubhav sir, don't you be gone before i turn upto you and with you get to make films that challenge the acts of hatred and ignorance people in this country move ahead with these days. To make this country a better place live and and die in. Thanks for the film. My friend quoted after the film ended "If guts had a face it would be Anubhav. No wonder he made article 15".
God's Creatures (2022)
Masterclass in Dialogues!
In a film where you have water in play. An entire character given to be played by water or the sea itself, then a good sound design as this one has to be never skimmed over. Amazing sound design. Watched only for Paul. Realising it for the third time in a film that I've been longing to meet the right person. As phenomenal as an actor can be. Charming yet demonic. The cast being the greatest strength is surely a work done right by Shaheen Baig. The movie has no issue at all with the pace. Same is with cinematography. Every frame you look at you sense something ambiguous as if there's something left that you couldn't notice while you were watching it. The last 10 minutes is just a girl driving away from her home and the composition made of the interior and exterior of the car while being next to driver's seat is pure suspense. In a good way. You'll hardly blink away and will be glad to notice 10 minutes gone in air just like that. Given the storyline as straightforward and simple underlying intricate actions and decisions by the cast. Its safe enough to say the least that each line of dialogue has been put forward carefully with no impulsiveness. At last Shane Crowley's meticulously crafted dialogues are sheer masterclass.
