Review:
Divided into three chapters, this film is an interwoven narrative of three sides, mainly the Goons, police, and Naxalites, each with their own goal of causing havoc. The only way they process is to shoot before you ask. Marked as Aasman Bharadwaj’s directorial debut Kuttey is a deep satire of the whole system.
Based on the fable of a Frog and a Scorpion, the film sends a strong message that a human’s character can never be changed. The film begins by creating tension between the cops and the Naxalites, providing the viewers with the necessary visuals to build the tone of the film. The film is, without a doubt, violent, but in the most sarcastic way possible.
Even the most intense scene will have something enjoyable for you to relish. The reference that Aasman has used, no doubt he has learnt directly from his father.
In terms of star performance, Tabu is the film’s hero. She is absolutely brilliant in her portrayal of Poonam aka Pummi ji. Every small aspect, whether it’s her dialogue delivery, her expression, or the way she moves, makes her the star of the movie.
A sincere salute to Radhika Madan. To be seen in a film when there are already stars like Tabu and Naseeruddin Shah, you must be flawless. In the film, Radhika sparkles like a northern star.
Arjun Kapoor appears to be the most underappreciated actor in Bollywood. He has done an excellent job with his character in the film. Arjun Kapoor actually has to do more work like this to demonstrate his brilliance and calibre to the audience.
Konkona Sen, who plays the head of a Naxalite faction, also puts her best foot forward.
When discussing the actors, we must not overlook Kumud Mishra’s contribution to the film. The man is a master of his craft, knowing just how much and what to provide. He is a veteran actor who can play any part with ease.
When it comes to the film’s songs and background music, get ready for an adventure. Songs in the movies range from those that teach you the meaning of real love to those that make you want to dance. Aasman has truly nailed it in his debut by choosing the ideal elements for a delicious supper. The man has opted to have none other than Gulzar Sahab write the majority of the songs, and he also has his father provide the music.
In terms of technical aspects, the movie includes a large number of interconnected sequences that at first baffle you, but as the plot progresses, you receive all the answers to your questions. It is not simple to construct sequences like this with such precision, and credit goes to the film’s editing staff for doing so well. The movie also makes excellent use of lighting, particularly red lights. The movie makes extensive use of the intensity that the red colour possesses. Speaking of editing, we should note that the film lacks a few sequences shown in the teaser.
The only regret is the underutilization of Naseeruddin Shah’s talent. His role, the greatest don of Mumbai, appears to be a touch undercooked.
The final word-
The film is a combination of guns, gaalis, and dhamakas. There is no good excuse to miss this movie. It is a must-see.
