Choked: Money Talks

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

Netflix Choked: Paisa Bolta Hai, made on the background of demonetization, focuses on the ups and downs of the relationship.

When Prime Minister Modi brings demonetization on 8 November 2016 in the film, the story takes a different pace.

The film's story is served with a historical judgment of relationship and demonetization. This film refreshes the memories associated with the 2016 note ban.

Choked: Paisa Bolta Hai also emphasizes that the effect was thought about demonetization. Did not happen as they believe.

Even middle-class families were emotionally killed here. The black money holders managed to keep it in the new note as well.

It is a smart film written by Nihit Bhave that concerns itself with more than the cause.

The film is initially complicated. But the way the film's story is presented. She keeps you tied However, the film's climax remains weak. Looking at the film, it seems like he had to finish in a hurry.

There is a lack of clarity and sharpness for which Anurag Kashyap is known.

Netflix Choked wants to say a lot but is not as hard-hitting or too entertaining as its tweets.

Saiyami Kher can save this film in terms of acting. She has been great. Her role is powerful, which she has played well.

However, the character of Saiyami repeatedly goes back to her past, which affects the pace of the film. But this is not her fault.

Roshan Mathew is well in his character Sushant. Many times his role gets angry at seeing his character, which shows his quality as an actor. This young actor has an impressive personality and speaking eyes.

Amrita Subhash's work is also good. However, she is inconsistent as it is warm and swells in parts. The character of Rajshri Deshpande is worth watching.

As I have already said, you will not see the original Anurag Kashyap, but the way the story is captured is fantastic. He has shown the middle-class in Mumbai very well.

The film's dialogues are strong, and many conversations lighten the mood of the film.

Overall Choked: Paisa Bolta Hai is an engaging film. Despite some faults, the film is successful in entertaining you, so you can give your time to watch it.

Choked is dull & unbearable. Can't believe this is the director who gave us Gangs of Wasseypur. Netflix again disappoints with the choice of Indian content they are making they need to learn something from Amazon Prime.

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.
