    Worth watching

    This is 1000x better than half the cringe Bollywood remakes we get these days. Hemwant Tiwari really put heart, brain, and sweat into this film. Ye koi shortcut waali film nahi hai mehnat dikh rahi hai har frame mein.

    It's not for everyone. If you like flashy sets, item songs, and typical timepass stuff -skip it. But if you want bold, meaningful, truly independent cinema - Krishna Arjun is worth watching.

    Thank you for showing what real, fearless filmmaking looks like.

    Bold, raw, and way ahead of its time.

    Experimental movie in Indian Cinema

    🎬 Krishna Arjun (2025) - A Bold Experiment in Indian Cinema

    Hemwant Tiwari dared to attempt something historic in Indian cinema with Krishna Arjun. Directing and acting simultaneously in a single-take format is no small feat, and the sheer coordination required for this kind of experiment is commendable.

    ⭐ Creativity: 10/10 A full score here. The film takes bold narrative and visual risks, especially with its clever dream sequences and transitions between past and present.

    🎭 Acting: 6/10 While the cast gave their all, the energy dipped slightly in some sequences - likely due to the one-take constraint.

    The scene where Krishna confronts Ajay Dube felt confused and somewhat misdirected.

    The moment when MLA kills Arjun lacked the emotional drama it deserved. A bit more intensity could have elevated that sequence.

    🎬 Direction & Execution 8/10 Despite its flaws, the direction was ambitious. Hemwant's ability to merge memory, dreams, and real-time narrative through seamless transitions is highly creative.

    ✅ Final Verdict: A must-watch if you're looking for something different and experimental in Indian cinema. The film may not be perfect, but it's a milestone in cinematic risk-taking.

    fight again Nepotism.

    Sure! Here's a heartfelt, 550-word message you can use to express your thoughts as an appreciation and constructive review of the film and the filmmaker's efforts:

    ---

    A Heartfelt Message to the Filmmaker

    First of all, I want to truly appreciate the filmmaker's passion and dedication in bringing this project to life. The way he tried to make this film is absolutely commendable. It's clear that a lot of heart, hard work, and personal struggle has gone into shaping the narrative and putting it out there for the audience. In an industry where opportunities often favor the privileged, it takes immense courage and strength for an outsider to not only dream big but also execute that dream into a full-fledged film. For that alone, he deserves a standing ovation.

    One of the things that stood out immediately was his attempt to bring something fresh and original to the table. There's a raw honesty in the storytelling, which reflects his own journey and the barriers he must have faced. The scenes were powerful, the emotions were real, and the performances - especially from the lead - were filled with sincerity. These are not small achievements in an environment where cookie-cutter scripts and glamor often overshadow genuine effort.

    However, I'd like to offer a bit of constructive feedback as well. The beginning of the film felt a little rushed. It was as though the story was trying to pack in too much information in too little time. This made it a bit difficult to connect with the characters and understand their motivations early on. A little more breathing room in the first few chapters would have allowed the audience to sink deeper into the world he was building. But as the film progressed, the pace stabilized, and the story became more engaging, drawing viewers into its emotional and thematic depth.

    What impressed me the most was his subtle yet strong message about fighting nepotism. It wasn't just a part of the script - it felt like the very reason this film was made. He used his voice not to complain, but to challenge the status quo through creativity. That is both powerful and inspiring. In an industry that often overlooks true talent due to bias and connections, filmmakers like him are essential. They remind us that art is for everyone, not just a chosen few.

    I genuinely believe that with more opportunities, experience, and perhaps a slightly stronger production team to back him, he can rise to become one of the most impactful storytellers of our time.

    I call it The Bihari Inception.

    Krishna Arjun. First of all this is my favourite genre. Crime,drama, thriller, revenge & plot twists. So someone who's into these genre it's a treat for them.

    I totally agree with the viewers discretion!

    The movie starts from the start.

    I like that it kept me curious and guessing or calculating through out the movie.

    You can see the camera man travelling authentically Super incredible execution given the indie film production house.

    Great efforts by the cameraman and team.

    It has a mix of emotions. Like it's funny with Gopal and suddenly becomes intense with Durga. My emotions were on a rollercoaster the whole time.

    It kept me engrossed as I am busy joining the story. In that we experience flashback, dream sequences. The timing was impeccable. It engrossed me so much that you forget it's a single shot film unless you really focus. That's the most amazing part it's all done in a single take. Actor's performances are superb. It's established. That's why I call it a Bihari Inception because it's travelling in timezones making you connect the whole film and on the ultimate present day, all the past stories connect in a bold and thrilling manner. Touching sensitive topics like LGBTQ social injustice brotherhood casteism. In that whole turmoil of emotions we understand in the end that Krishna and Arjun passed so closely missing eachother all in a single take !!

    Extremely brave & gutsy attempt by the mastermind @Hemwant Tiwari.

    I enjoyed the movie as it fits in my taste. The efforts are incredible to watch. Feels so Filmy 😁🍿 Thank you everyone in krishna arjun.

    Worth watching it!

    It's a great movie, it literally portrays everything that is happening around us. Kudos to the DoP for giving great shots & justifying the director's vision 🙂🙌🏻

    Great direction 🎥 Fabulous acting 🎭 Every actor has given justice to the film & respected director's vision. Even the dialogues are superbly written down, I couldn't really pick one of them but towards the end their's one moment when lead character recites the note from Arjun, the context of the note is worth reading.

    Definitely a must watch film. This is not just a promising debut - it's the arrival of a bold new voice in the cinema.

    Looking forward for more films from Hemant Tiwari, expectations have gone skyrocketing now with this film.
