An overlooked masterpiece.....deserves a cult status
Okay, I know I know what the critics say. It is predictable, a tad too long, Kashyap indulges himself a bit too much in his film references, the plot is hazy and then too simplistic and the actors could have been used in better ways.
But did you all not notice the numerous great things? The meticulous art direction- from the streets to the panoramic views of the city- from the glizy club to the grimy cage fights? The amazing visuals, the sheer breadth of the narrative- leaping from timelines to locations with such effortless ease? The instantly quotable dialogue, the spectacular jazz songs and the mind blowing music? The iron-fisted direction of Kashyap that makes it all memorable despite its predictablity, the inevitability of the material?
Sometime, in the future, this movie will be hailed as a wronged masterpiece. I am sure it will happen.
