The Hungry

There are numerous buyers/ audiences for Shakespeare's well- known tragic plays such as "King Lear," "Othello," "Macbeth," "Hamlet," and "Julius Caesar" and there is "Titus Andronicus" which is dubbed as the least impressive. Hell, not for me, it is quite absurd with glory gory dark revenge drama. I appreciate Bornila Chatterjee for choosing Shakespeare's least known tragedy in "The Hungry" and handling the complex subject with gore and care. It is an insane film, like a big weird mess but it's fascinating, the flow narrative is quite dark supported by the spectacle of the strong visuals and amazing cinematography. This is a rewarding piece of art, which will not satisfy the gorehounds but the arthouse fans. I have given this movie a 7 on 10, which it easily deserves. As for the acting, all the characters are tremendous, especially Tathagat (Naseeruddin Shah) and Tulsi (Tisca Chopra). Regardless, this is a required viewing to appreciate Borniala Chattejee for retelling an imperfect story with arresting emotional and aesthetic experience.

The direction is flawless I can watch this on repeat. The class of actors chosen for this movie is outstanding. Each character portrayed by either veterans or newcomers stands out.

My only disappointment is the name of the movie. Why "The Hungry"? An adaption set amidst Indian context, the name "The Hungry" does not strike any chord. The name is a big damper. Wish they had been more creative and honest to the 'Indianness' of this adaptation by choosing a more relevant and striking name, rather than being unimaginative.

Pls dnt watch if u dnt like unrealistic dramas.

If u love acting, cast and the murder dramas , u are going to be amaged , jawdropping scenes, creative casting , director has done some amazing work , applaus and kudos for the entire team . Love u nassir sir and tissca mam that u guys are choosing some very extraordinary scripts.

This movie is not for everyone. The direction of the movie is outstanding as the story portrayed feels real. Nasruddin shah has as always done a fantastic job and does justice to the charecter.

Totally enjoyable, if you like tragic stories. Great cinematography, great mood film. Abrupt at times. Anglicised characters (sons) first seem not to fit in the film but slowly it makes sense. Overall, a one time watch for those who like shock in films presented peacefully.
