1888

1888 stands as a commendable endeavor delving into the topic of demonetization, setting itself apart from typical movies exploring this theme.

The on-screen manifestation of Sourabh and his team's dedicated efforts shines through every frame. While the film begins at a slower pace, it gradually gains momentum as the story unfolds. The Cinematography, Editing, Music definitely added the value to my movie watching experience.

Although the screenplay isn't perfect, it is undeniably praiseworthy to witness the talents of the debutante director. I eagerly anticipate more thrilling movies under his direction.

1888 starts off as a slow movie but the tension builds up very well towards the 2nd half.

I watched it with my family members and though my mom found it slow initially I did not find the movie slow because I like how the characters and backdrop of demonetization was slowly built up

The twists were unexpected but very intelligent.

The music and believable characters were the highlight apart from the story.

Looks like apart from Neethu Shetty every one else in the cast and crew were newcomers and that did not spoil the movie experience one bit.

I'm hoping to see a sequel to this movie. This movie will surely be liked by urban audiences who do not understand Kannada also.

Watch this independent thriller.

Highly recommended and most precious. Movie. To seee. With family. And fr. Friend. And And ur loved ones the movie.

Sense of human to see the movie is highly recommended To see with family and friends and also recommend to saw that movie as well in the field is thrills and enjoy Though the movie is highly recommended bit the role of the hero and the main lead heroine is really awesome and Amy the way the hero is act in theater it's look like awesome and reay enjoyed I will highly.

So once anyone have plan to saw the movie do not forget to see that movie this on of the best movie.

When you get ready to watch a thriller, you want your pulse racing - right from start to the end. What about logic in all of that thrill? Yes, 1888 has it - that's what makes it so good! Debutante director Saurabh Shukla's story line and attention to detail is truly impressive. None of the actors stand out from the rest, and yet, all of them were so real, just like you, the viewer. Wonderful cinematography too. I guess that's what makes a film an immersive experience!

An artist from CAVA (Government Arts College in Mysore) once told me that an artist can only create honestly what he/she has experienced and/or truly believes in. Through 1888, Shukla gave his belief the glory it genuinely deserves. What is that belief I'm talking about? Go, go watch the film to know!

Let me be honest and add one more point here. Shukla is my college friend - intelligent and extremely active. But am I writing this review for him? No. I really enjoyed the movie and I would like others to have a great time too, that's it.

1888 is a bold attempt at indie filmmaking, but it's not for everyone. Shot entirely in guerrilla style, the film banks on its raw visuals and real-world backdrop of India's 2016 demonetization. The story revolves around three unlikely characters-a superstar with political aspirations, an insurance agent overwhelmed by life, and a mysterious stranger-thrust together over a bag of cash. The narrative spirals into a chaotic cat-and-mouse chase, peppered with twists and turns.

While the concept is intriguing, the execution wavers. The guerrilla style adds authenticity but also exposes the film's limitations, with certain scenes feeling drawn-out and indulgent. The pacing struggles, testing the patience of viewers who expect more urgency in a thriller. The script, though ambitious, occasionally meanders, making it hard to stay fully invested in the plot.

That said, 1888 has its moments of brilliance, especially in its unpredictable story and strong performances. It's a film that rewards patience but demands effort from its audience. For those who appreciate experimental cinema, this is a daring attempt; for others, it might feel like a bumpy ride that doesn't always justify the journey.
