Review of 1888

1888 (2023)
10/10
A power packed, unrelenting thriller
14 May 2024
This film requires you to keep up, keeps you glued to the edge of your seat without taking away from the narration one bit. 1888 is an action thriller that unapologetically looks at corruption, the effects of demonetisation, the hunger of small time criminals overcoming and consuming bigger criminals.

There are certain scenes that are poetically beautiful even if they are raw, eg a little hoodle in search of smoking paper uses the then demonetized 2000 rupees not to smoke up, cleverly commenting on the worth and worthlessness of money in one small puff.

The director, cast and crew have done a fantastic job creating a very engaging film with action scenes, high speed car chases and melodious songs to carry the narrative ahead. 1888 is a must watch.
