Amazing

This is a gem of a movie with an amazing ensemble cast. Comprised of 6 short stories revolving around religion, faith and how truly religion becomes the 'opium' for the masses. Some of the stories are satirical replete with humour, while others are dark and hard-hitting - they literally make you sit up, while others are sweet and absolutely heartwarming. This is a film that premiered at The Tokyo International Film Festival 2022 where it was presented by director Lijo Pellissery. Opium is a commendable debut by Aman Sachdeva who manages to deliver a knockout debut. Manu Rishi Chaddha and Vinay Pathak and Dilip Prabhavalkar stand out from the cast.
