Bandook

Must watch film. It shakes you up. There are technical issues but it's once in a generation film.Aditya Om take a bow. What direction and great acting too. Kudos to all the actors

I like crime movies and that was the reason I decided to watch this movie today. Its amazing that this film has almost no well known actors and yet every actor performed his role to perfection. Casting Director has done a wonderful job.

Great Diaglogues, great acting and of course great direction.

People who don't like crime movies or detest violence and profanity shouldn't waste their time with this title.

This movie is in the league of movies like "Gangs of Wasseypur", "Satya" etc.

Positives: Story, Direction, Acting, Dialogues, Music. Negatives: Violence and Profanity (But then what do you expect from a crime movie)

Happy Watching !

I am very impressed with the music of this film. The great Jagjit Singhji has sung last song of his life. "Mrug Trishna Marusthal ki" is really a masterpiece. Nikhil Kamat has done a really good job. He has given justice to all songs.

The song "Chunav Re" is good too. I even kept "Tu jaldi bata de" as my caller tune for few months.

Aditya Om is successful in portraying the scenario of rural politics in interiors of India. All the characters in this film are real. Cinematography is really good. Those who can not tolerate realities of life should not watch this movie. Congratulations to all characters in this movie. Boys you have done well.

Finished watching this one an hour back. And it was a pleasant surprise. Very realistic and hard hitting movie. The kind of movies that you get to see only in Sundance.

I generally don't do reviews, but after watching this movie, I happened to come across a review in a large news paper. That review was very unfair review. Movie lovers should go and watch the movie and make your own opinion. Those big news papers run their own agenda- praising a movie so realistic and de-glamorized may have been difficult for them.

First half is all about strong character buildup, 2nd half is crisp and takes the viewer on roller coaster ride. Music of the film is excellent with Jagjit Singh song Mrigtrishna placed perfectly at the right spot. Back background score is dark, and melts into the poignant scenes. Dialogues are meaningful researched and well thought, although i found something funny about the dialog "To become a man, you have to learn two things, how to shoot a gun and how to use a condom". Its funny in Hindi. A twisted Narrative keeps you engrossed. Censor Board went a step ahead by allowing the film to go ahead. There are some scenes, that need a strong heart. But, you know those are real because you hear about such events in news papers. Two surprising twists in the story keeps the viewers hooked. All in all its hard hitting, rustic film which viewers get to see rarely by Indian Filmmakers. Voice of Jagjit Singh singing the Song Mrigtrishna - his last song before he died, will make you miss him.

Only few films have the quality of writing or depth that Bandook has . It's a must watch, ahead of its time. Aditya Om will surely be a phenomenon .
