The Hungry

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.

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.

This movie is not for everyone. The direction of the movie is outstanding as the story portrayed feels real. Nasruddin shah has as always done a fantastic job and does justice to the charecter.

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!

Totally enjoyable, if you like tragic stories. Great cinematography, great mood film. Abrupt at times. Anglicised characters (sons) first seem not to fit in the film but slowly it makes sense. Overall, a one time watch for those who like shock in films presented peacefully.
