A very intelligent radical anti-Statist film, cleverly disguised


A very intelligent radical anti-Statist film, cleverly slipped past censors by somwhat sleazy promo and first-half

Must see, if you are politically aware enough to know what intelligence agencies do. I saw this with less than zero exprectaion and was astonished at what it was really about!

Dont walk out after the interval - watch it till the end! There are sanctimonious dialogues etc. but they fooled the censors and the Indian State well!

And Sunny Leone is not bad at all as as actor! She is welcome to continue her identity as a porn actor in Canada/USA - it is entirely her choice. But pornography is dumb and - the larger picture is - in general porn is degrading to the woman porn actor [and the male porn acor too] - by trivilising an intimate experience like sex. In general it objectifies the human.

But then, in a capitalist society, lots of 'respectable' work also objectifies people...

I want to convey to Ms Leone that she has more *real* acting talent than she thinks. My best wishes to her.

PS: Kudos to storywriter Mahesh Bhatt: I'd have thought creating a character who is the fusion of Kurtz [of Heart Of Darkness/Apocalypse Now] and Enoch Arden [of Tannyson's poem, replicated in umpteen bollywood films starting with Raj Kapoor's Sangam(1962)] would be impossible - mahesh bhatt has managed to do it not too clumsily - in fact in a way slightly above the average bollywood standard.

Director Pooja Bhatt's work is: okay!
