Candyflip

Loved the movie, the way its shot is a refreshing. Amazing shots and perspectives refreshingly different form what Indian cinema has been seeing for years.

The psychedelic culture of Goa is captured in a way it was never done before, some scenes are beyond imagination. Killer direction by Shanawaz and loved the cinematography. Cheers to the Team!

Really liked this movie, especially just having come from GOA. In some ways it shows effects of western culture on a paradise, in others it shows effects of western culture on people it affects. The movie has a very real quality about it, from the interactions of the people to emotions and has you guessing what is real, what isn't and leaves you thinking about what we're doing to our bodies and people around us, what is the effect of places we go to escape and what we do to them with our escape. Director and cast did a wonderful job and while not everyone will get it, I think those who do will think of it as not just another movie that they watched.

If you want a raw, random, intimate & alluring trip, then this is the movie for you! Candyflip is a tropical, psychedelic rollercoaster ride through the beaches of Goa and beyond.

If you've visited gorgeous Goa, this dark & experimental film will teleport you back to the familiar sandy beaches, vibrant culture & freedom of the legendary Goan underground party scene.

Mainly English, entwined with some authentic Hindi and Konkani, Candyflip features a beautifully diverse soundtrack and great casting. This cool & quirky Indian independant film breaks the mold of a typical Indian 'song and dance' movie.

The protaganist, Roy (based on a real Indian character), twists and turns through festivity after party after gathering and in the end, you are left guessing what is real and what is imaginary.

Impressively artistic, deeply dark, trippy and truly hectic... this drug fuelled journey is an account of how you do not want your LSD trip to end up... Do not expect to make sense of it all.

I hope to see more from this innovative young director in the future.

I'm surprised by the extremely low ratings that this movie . It's not for the commercial audience as this is a beautifully shot psychedelic open-ended movie open to many interpretations. Great performances as well by all the actors.

My Rating : 5/10

Just finished watching this. It's a great little experiment in making something more than just pleasing an audience with a resolution. I liked how the movie is simply a flow of visual images once the main lead has candy-flipped and reminded me of 'The Tree Of Life'.

An experimental movie open to interpretation with it's dream-like montages. Not for everyone though as there isn't a definite story or closure, only a semblance of the aftermath of hallucination after a trip.

Stick to Kaalakandi (2017) if you cannot fathom this, this is not mainstream guys!
