Gulaal 2009
post independence Rajput victimhood breeding the false sense of revolution keeps growing and sinking everyone in ugly pride. Remnants of the past – multiple wives, children from different women – come back haunting in a bloodthirsty power play.

Cracking filmmaking from the hilarious internal existential crisis of half-Rajput, half-English.

The Coward 1965
Sublime interplay constantly between couple and old lover. Old love reappears, haunting, carrying the situations and cowardice of man to fated heartbreaks as if it was just delayed. Quite Bergmanlike.

India shows itself, or, to put it another way, actual India shows itself going to corner or simply had to be there. An astounding police procedural that only serves as a front to look into castiesm, communalism as filth of this country. The way the system runs, consumes is devastating and revealing it's origins, is much more so. There are undoubtedly certain aspects that may have been better, but it is true zameen se judi hui film with exceptionally brave character writing and is politically ahead of its time. Some naunces are something else only.
