    Very good film, I'm not exaggerating

    When you get ready to watch a thriller, you want your pulse racing - right from start to the end. What about logic in all of that thrill? Yes, 1888 has it - that's what makes it so good! Debutante director Saurabh Shukla's story line and attention to detail is truly impressive. None of the actors stand out from the rest, and yet, all of them were so real, just like you, the viewer. Wonderful cinematography too. I guess that's what makes a film an immersive experience!

    An artist from CAVA (Government Arts College in Mysore) once told me that an artist can only create honestly what he/she has experienced and/or truly believes in. Through 1888, Shukla gave his belief the glory it genuinely deserves. What is that belief I'm talking about? Go, go watch the film to know!

    Let me be honest and add one more point here. Shukla is my college friend - intelligent and extremely active. But am I writing this review for him? No. I really enjoyed the movie and I would like others to have a great time too, that's it.

    Very impressive thriller movie

    First I wish Kudos to the whole team. The flow of the movie started slowly it shifted its gear to higher speed gradually and started connecting the points and gave a Thriller experiences which suits the genre. Editing was done brilliantly till the end of movie. All the character has done justice to their role.

    Sourabh Shukla has done excellent direction as debutant. We were able to see his passion It was another feather on cap for first time director Sourabh Sukla to win the Dadasaheb palke Film festival award.

    I recommend to watch this movie and encourage the team to bring more such movies.

    Unexpected but very good

    1888 starts off as a slow movie but the tension builds up very well towards the 2nd half.

    I watched it with my family members and though my mom found it slow initially I did not find the movie slow because I like how the characters and backdrop of demonetization was slowly built up

    The twists were unexpected but very intelligent.

    The music and believable characters were the highlight apart from the story.

    Looks like apart from Neethu Shetty every one else in the cast and crew were newcomers and that did not spoil the movie experience one bit.

    I'm hoping to see a sequel to this movie. This movie will surely be liked by urban audiences who do not understand Kannada also.

    Watch this independent thriller.

    A power packed, unrelenting thriller

    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.
