Featured reviews
This trite and formulaic low-budget student film doesn't have a single element of interest to hold onto. The cinematography is so flat and amateurish that it looks like a local TV soap opera - makes it impossible to suspend disbelief. Absolutely abysmal student acting paired with a clumsy and unbelievably overstretched script make this impossible to finish. A lot of stereotypical and derivative horror-trope directing moves really start to grate after a while, especially because when trying so hard to look Hollywood, it just really doesn't come across authentic to the context it comes from at all.
Gin Ke Dus is the kind of film that makes you wish you could unlearn counting. If the title refers to a countdown, I was counting the minutes till it ended - and every second felt like a punishment from the universe.
The movie pretends it has suspense. It doesn't. It pretends it has depth. It barely has a surface. By the time we reach "dus," the only thing that explodes is the audience's patience.
The plot? A confusing mess of clichés, unnecessary slow-motion shots, and characters who all seem to be in a competition to deliver the worst performance. The lead actor looks constantly confused - probably wondering why they signed this film. The antagonist delivers threats like a drunk uncle at a wedding. And the background score is so dramatic, it's like the music composer thought he was scoring Avengers: Endgame.
Even the editing is a joke. One scene cuts so abruptly, I thought I sat on the remote.
In short: Gin Ke Dus is a countdown to cinematic doom. The only people who should watch this are film students learning what not to do.
Negative stars if possible. Count that.

- TriviaGin Ke Dus takes place a day before a watershed moment in Indian history, the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi. This is the year the Indian economy officially transitioned from being a welfare state to a capitalistic one. The characters are at the cusp of this transition period and the underlying story being told is one of a class struggle between two Indias. The twins in Gin Ke Dus represent the two facets of India sitting on a knife's edge.
