Review:
I had heard and read about the movie a lot and hence gave time to watch on a lazy Saturday.
The movie starts will silent note and picks up quickly to the subject. All the four main characters have very minimal dialogs to deliver as their acting itself speaks up loud and screaming.
The near realistic scenes of police lockup torture are just amazing. You feel pity on the characters while watching the movie and simultaneously you start feeling ashamed of corrupt system of police department.
Ugly things have been captured in beautiful way.
Sometimes as a human being one does not have any control over the events around us. Things just happen and we get caught in the storm of consequents.
Our four characters also are drawn into uncontrolled happenings.
After intermission, the movie slows down a bit and removes the focus from four main characters to show muddy politics and dark face of police operations, while they cover up the custodian death of K.K.
Including cover-up of murders, false arrest in crimes to fake encounters, all is shown in a serious way.
Last scene of hide and encounter of four main character is filmed in black and white format to give a feel for dark and dirty game.
The movie stands out in the crowd of formal cinema and screams loud against corrupt system.
