    Gripping Thriller

    "1888" is a captivating thriller that unfolds against the backdrop of India's tumultuous Demonetization era. Directed by Sourabh Shukla (debut feature film), the story follows three unlikely characters whose paths collide in pursuit of a large sum of cash. What starts as a simple transaction quickly escalates into a gripping cat-and-mouse game, as unexpected twists and turns keep the audience on the edge of their seats.

    Shukla's direction is commendable, weaving together a complex narrative with skillful precision. Despite his lack of formal training or experience in the film industry, he demonstrates a keen eye for storytelling and a knack for creating tension and suspense. The film's pacing is well-balanced, allowing for moments of quiet introspection as well as adrenaline-fueled action sequences.

    The ensemble cast delivers strong performances, bringing depth and authenticity to their characters. As the stakes escalate, the dynamics between the characters become increasingly tense, leading to unexpected alliances and betrayals. Each actor brings a unique energy to their role, adding layers of complexity to the narrative.

    Overall, "1888" is a gripping thriller that keeps viewers guessing until the very end. Sourabh Shukla's debut feature showcases his talent as a filmmaker, offering a fresh perspective on the complexities of human nature and the consequences of greed. It's a must-watch for fans of suspenseful cinema.

    Commendable

    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: Shadows of Demonetization and the Art of Guerrilla Cinema"

    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.

    A power packed, unrelenting thriller

    This film requires you to keep up, keeps you glued to the edge of your seat without taking away from the narration one bit. 1888 is an action thriller that unapologetically looks at corruption, the effects of demonetisation, the hunger of small time criminals overcoming and consuming bigger criminals.

    There are certain scenes that are poetically beautiful even if they are raw, eg a little hoodle in search of smoking paper uses the then demonetized 2000 rupees not to smoke up, cleverly commenting on the worth and worthlessness of money in one small puff.

    The director, cast and crew have done a fantastic job creating a very engaging film with action scenes, high speed car chases and melodious songs to carry the narrative ahead. 1888 is a must watch.
