Directed by Richie Mehta

Poacher is about killing elephants for their tusk. Richie Mehta , known to not spare us any details from the scene of the crime (Delhi Crime) highlights scenes of poachers ripping out the priceless ivory from elephants wailing in unbearable pain.

I don’t know how Mehta shot these never-before scenes of cruelty to animals. We are assured that no animal was harmed during the shooting. We as the spectators are irreparably harmed.

It is not a pleasant sight to see how cruel we humans can be. Poached is an expose on a loveless irredeemably lost civilization which no longer cares about the damage we cause to our own earth every single day.

This is a tale of four brothers who live in an old/unfinished house on a small island. The youngest brother refers to their home as ‘the worst in the Panchayat’. They have not been able to function as a family and this story throws light on the four and people who come into their lives to change it in more ways than one.
