Candyflip

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.

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.

This is one of those rare flims that only comes along once in a blue moon; it will immediately have you reevaluating some of your Psychedelic experience. Clearly Seen that Director Shanawaz Nellikulin has a great vision of Goa psychedelic culture. And the use of cinematographic elements and visual effects to convey both ecstasy and horror is suberb.

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.

Absolutely true story of goa... beautifully scripted and directed...
