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 takes us on a riveting journey through the labyrinthine alleys of the dark web, where anonymity breeds both danger and salvation.
The film plunges headlong into the murky depths of the dark web. Our protagonists, unwittingly drawn into this digital underworld, grapple with their own shadows. The tension escalates as they chase elusive leads, their keystrokes echoing like gunshots in cyberspace.
Guerilla Filmmaking: 1888 defies convention. Sourabh Shukla, the visionary director, adopts a guerilla-style approach. Armed with handheld cameras, he infiltrates real locations-seedy backstreets, abandoned warehouses, and dimly lit cyber cafes. The result? Raw, unfiltered authenticity. The camera trembles as if it, too, fears exposure. The actors-amateurs and professionals alike-immerse themselves in their roles, blurring the line between reel and reality.
Neethu Shetty's Enigma: Neethu Shetty, our enigmatic lead, embodies vulnerability and resilience. As she deciphers cryptic clues, we witness her transformation from a curious bystander to a reluctant hero. Neethu's performance is a masterclass in subtlety- a dance on the razor's edge.
The pulse of the Bengaluru city itself becomes a character-an accomplice and adversary. Bengaluru's neon-lit streets pulse with life, concealing treachery beneath their glittering façade. The rain-soaked boulevards reflect fractured souls, and the traffic hums like a digital heartbeat. The city breathes, sighs, and whispers its own secrets.
1888 is a daring plunge into the abyss. It's not just a movie; it's an experience-an encrypted file waiting for decryption. Watching it feels like sitting on a edge, immerse yourself in its shadows, and let the dark web weave its spell.

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.
