Sombre fortune

Choked is a unique kind of movie directed by Anurag Kashyap. With demonetization as a backdrop, Choked explores the power struggle at every level - including those who belongs to middle-class.

It's all about dreams and aspiration of a middle class Maharashtrian family. The performance were good, but not great. The movie could have been much stronger with more tight screenplay. Choked is smart, but not smart enough that mildly satisfied the depth and struggles of a middle-class family.

Choked had much higher expectation, being an Anurag Kashyap film. But the movie had just enough qualities and moments that didn't disappointed.

My Rating : 3/5

Choked. Anurag Kashyap.2020 The film movie ever made keeping the illustrious "Demonetization" in the main plot. The film has exceedingly well written first half, neatly expressed empathy between the couple, chemistry with inquisitive neighbors but somehow it misses the mark at the very end. The last 15 minutes of the film looks more like a patch then a proper fulfillment to a well-made thriller. Saiyami Kher is excellent in her role as a disappointed, vulnerable and ambitious bank employee. Choked runs heavily on the traditional background score but in some places it airs a tad loud. Choked metaphorically means various things in the film from corruption to a not so happy relationship and from doomed future to current condition of the country.

This film might get an extremely polar reviews for some of its political stand and approach against the current government. It's an extremely well sanitized and different version of Kashyap.

Movie seems to be stretched not much to explore in to it. During whole movie you will wait some thing will going to happen but end up with nothing.

One time watch if you don't have much to do.

This could have been an interesting film were it not for the fact that it was poorly scripted and executed with chaotic editing, both of which lead to a total lack of continuity. Scenes appeared to be out of sequence, and at times no explanation was offered for certain events in the film. This resulted in a lack of understanding of these events, and a loss of interest in the film itself. Not a film for a global audience.

Netflix disappointing me again and again. Please learn from prime videos, MX player or at least voot before producing any irritating stuff
