Sonchiriya

This film deserves an 8 cos of the solid direction, script n acting but I am generous with 10 so that more indie films like these r made in India n the reels of the awful ones like Simbba, Race 3, Padmavat, Kesari, etc, shud be flushed down the toilet.

Also I am a sucker for Western films n it's rare to come across a Western film from Bollywood.

Coming back to this film, it is n underrated directorial effort by Abhishek Chaubey whose earlier films were mostly shot in the dusty countrysides. It has shades of Outlaw Josey Wales n the film's twist is harrowing like the one from Incendies. It has awesome cinematography, stunning landscapes of rugged, ravine-streaked hills and calm rivers contrasted with bloody brutal gun fight sequences. The cinematography brings the bleakest of environments to frightening life, aided by the fact that the locations were every bit as bleak as they appeared on screen. The film is a juxtaposition of brutal reality and rustic serenity.

The story is about outlaws living in the ravines. We have outlaws based on the caste system but the most neglected n persecuted ones r the poor dalits.

My only two cribs. They shud have shown some crocodile violence n they shud have shown the lead cop's heading busting like a watermelon.

I always thought, a dacoit means a thief who robs, rapes n kills. But thank u, director #abhishekchaubey, for opening my eyes n for revealing the correct picture. Everything about #Sonchiriya seems real. The men, the women, the politics, the guns, the bullets, the violence, the locations, the music, the language r all authentic. The performances will amaze u. Running time should be reduced by 15 minutes. Watch it. Rating 3.5/5.

Best Raw Film making i have seen in the near past of the Bollywood. A dark Masterpiece about the chambal. It has so many shades with respect to its characters and The narrative. Abhishek chaubey is one of the best director working in the Bollywood at this moment to justify this kind of movies. I have much more interest in the raw filmmaking and his previous films like ishqiya dedh ishqiya udta Punjab all were very raw and original. Because of the Direction you will not find any kind of dull thing through runtime. Writing is hero here. Very original very witty. Cinematography and music respectively works in a very respectful manner. This film is nothing without this kind of epic cinematography and the writing. Performance wise Sushant sing Rajput nails every time he appears on the screen. Manoj sir did his best in the special appreance. Ranveer shorey is outstanding so is bhumi padneker. It is A very Intelligent and Risky choice she had taken but succeded in a very subtle way. Ashutosh Rana Is the underrated actor working today. It is a very Disturbing, Dark and Deep Movie That will blown your mind when you see. Probably the most original films to be made in the history of Bollywood. My previous one favourite was Andhadhun.



Watch this at any cost....





Thank you....

This is one of those few films after watching which, you feel like the urge to watch the movie again. The screenplay, cinematography, direction and acting all deserve an standing ovation. The storyline is captivating with twists at the right moment. This movie would definitely make many laugh and cry within a span of a short time. Must watch and deserves due credit.

It's not a horror movie, but watching it late night would terrify you. It has a bit haunting element. The Indian cinema should feel proud that it has a genius film maker like Abhishek Chaubey. He greatly translate a message of Shyam Benegal's type stories with a Quentin Tarantino's type film making. Sonchiriya can confidently stand along another Chambal based 'Bandit Queen'.
