Schüsse im Monsun

This one is good. It could be far better. BTW, Anurag Kashyap was a producer of this film.

While most of the seasoned movie buffs would have heard about the Rashomon effect, Monsoon Shoutout explores a single perspective butterfly Rashomon effect, and one without anything at all. Written and directed by Amit Kumar this movie is a rare treat for audiences for its treatment and workmanship. Great acting performances with refreshing new faces makes the movie punch above its weight. Watch out for Neeraj Kabi as Khan for some great smooth acting lessons.

Monsoon Shootout is aided by a spectacular screenplay, one that will be remembered for ages. Cinematography and the choice of lenses used by Rajeev Ravi depending on the mood of cinema is excellent. Production design, costumes, make up and Music is very good for a movie that is on a very low budget. The choices of shooting locations used, couldn't be any better, just like the casting of the Monsoon Shootout which is perfect. The editor too has excelled in keeping the movie under 90 minutes.

Overall Monsoon Shootout is a must watch movie for seasoned movie buffs for its excellence in almost all departments of filmmaking, which is pretty rare in Indian Cinema. Mass movie audiences please stay away, this one is not for you.

I recently watched Monsoon Shootout vs and really enjoyed it. I've always been fascinated by the idea of "what if" scenarios-how one decision can lead to completely different outcomes. This film explores that concept in a smart and powerful way. Amit Kumar and his team did a great job bringing this vision to the screen.

The music and soundtrack are excellent, especially the Arijit Singh song-it really stood out. I also really liked the cinematography and editing. What impressed me even more is that the film avoids using typical fade-ins and fade-outs, which gave it a raw, realistic feel. For a film released in 2013, this kind of storytelling was bold and artistic-it feels like true art cinema.

The actors were also fantastic. Vijay Varma and Nawazuddin Siddiqui gave strong, believable performances. At just about 90 minutes, it's a short feature, but every moment counts. It's definitely a film worth watching for anyone who enjoys intense storytelling, bold direction, and thought-provoking concepts.

More Indian cop stuff, the historical background of police "Encounter Shootings" served up in a structure like the sixties Mario Adorf Straße der Verheißung mashed with Incident at Owl Creek and filmed like a contemporary Korean thriller.

This one opens with a car hold up conducted by an ax wielding extortionist, with police recruit Varma/Adi on his first day chasing suspect Siddiqui in the monsoonal rain, ending with the fugitive in his sights.

Three different choices are shown.

Personable cast and accomplished filming fail to elevate the piece above it's tricksy structure. A long time project for beginner director Kumar, the film ended up on the screen in the way it was written after variations in the cutting room.

This movie was in my list from a very long time but never bothered to watch it.

Finally i did and the movie was fantastic.

Lot of people are praising Nawazuddin, I am surprised because he was not the best actor in the film.

It was actually Vijay Verma who was top notch in the movie, this was Vijay Verma's movie and the whole film was shown from his angle.

People are biased in their reviews and completely refusing to praise vijay verma is shocking to me, Nawazuddin barely had dialogues in this movie.

Overall this film was satisfactory, Movie was ahead of its time. Vijay Verma and all the actors performed well.
