The Hungry

This movie could have been absolute Nail Biting Gem!! Provided you have your bollywood glasses On - This movie is simply mind throbbing. This movie is a must watch for people who loathe Bollywood , Hats off to an exciting attempt by Bornilla Chaterjee of introducing such dark concept to indian audience. Naseer saab's acting was the engine throughout. Mr. Ahuja - A character portrayal is everything in such movies, naseer saab develops such a beautiful character here who is the king in his own mind has his own fortress , a CHARISMATIC AND POWERFUL CHARACTER overall. Movie is obviously flawed , It has everything right with the plot , screenplay , story , but i think it really lacked some powerful dialogues that could have made a positive effect on its lagging screenplay. Also it couldnt create that nail biting curiosity which it could have with such a beautiful story and dark humor.

This Movie is absolutely fresh in bollywood , opened a doorway for many more to follow. Every child man and woman should go for this Asap. Must watch!

"Revenge is a dish best served cold". this proverb perfectly describes The Hungry, a violent drama based on the Shakespearian tragedy Titus Andronicus. Set in contemporary India somewhere on the outskirts of Delhi, it is a tale of two families - the Ahujas led by patriarch Tathagat (Naseer who steals every scene he is in) and the Joshis led by Tulsi (Tisca Chopra, relishing the role tailormade for her). The story which plays out over a couple of days around a wedding between Tathagat Ahuja's son and Tulsi grips you early on with a brutal murder within the first 10 minutes into the film. Terrific acting overall supported well by Neeraj Kabi, Sayoni Gupta, Antoni Aakeel. Technically it is great with the editing and the pacing almost perfect. Director Bornila does a swell job and this movie is not a bad time to pass 1.5 hours.

The Hungry is well paced revenge drama that is based on a tragic play by Shakespeare. I hadn't heard or read about that play before watching this movie but the screenplay and characterization certainly was influenced by the fact that it was adapted from a play. It is a dark movie that brings out the selfish side of all the characters and the meaner a person, the longer it stays alive to witness the horrors unfold. The story is well set in two business families of Delhi and Naseeruddin Shah plays the role of Tathagath, the patriarch who wants to own up the whole business, by marrying off the daughter of his deceased business partner, Tulsi, to his son, Sunny. The alliance seems misplaced as Tulsi is a widow who is way older and smarter than the dimwitted Sunny. But the lady has a mission of her own, to avenge the bloody game that Tathagath has played to her dismay. Tisca in the role of Tulsi, really stands out in the movie. Naseeruddin Shah as Tathagath does justice to the role for which he wasn't particularly fit. The support characters play out their roles well in this well edited script. Certainly worth a watch!

Pls dnt watch if u dnt like unrealistic dramas.

If u love acting, cast and the murder dramas , u are going to be amaged , jawdropping scenes, creative casting , director has done some amazing work , applaus and kudos for the entire team . Love u nassir sir and tissca mam that u guys are choosing some very extraordinary scripts.

The direction is flawless I can watch this on repeat. The class of actors chosen for this movie is outstanding. Each character portrayed by either veterans or newcomers stands out.

My only disappointment is the name of the movie. Why "The Hungry"? An adaption set amidst Indian context, the name "The Hungry" does not strike any chord. The name is a big damper. Wish they had been more creative and honest to the 'Indianness' of this adaptation by choosing a more relevant and striking name, rather than being unimaginative.
