Monsoon Shootout

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.

#MonsoonShootout takes a fresh look at the cop vs criminal story. What if a newly-recruited cop comes face to face with a suspected criminal? Does he shoot him? Or does he let him escape? What happens to the criminal's family thereafter? Does his young son turn into another criminal? We get to see different versions of the same situation. Hats off to director Amit Kumar n cinematographer Rajeev Ravi for their efforts. They ensure that the viewer is completely involved in the proceedings. Performances by Vijay Varma, Neeraj Kabi, Siddiqui, r first-rate. Definitely worth watching. Rating 3.5/5.

A film set in Mumbai dealing with gangsters and police. A rookie policeman in the crime department comes across a situation where he is chasing a man who could be a gangster or he could not be. The film depicts three scenarios that he can take, the right path, the wrong path and the middle way.

All three paths taken lead to someone or the other getting hurt. This is a gritty realistic depiction of the dilemmas faced by the police in the line of duty. The performances are good but there are so many characters and outcomes that we are confused. A dialed down version would make a better film.

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.
