Rating: Out of Five
✪✪✪ ½
Cast: Bidita Bag, Shraddha Das, Divya Dutta, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Jatin Goswami, Anil George
Director: Kushan Nandy
Duration: 2 hour & 02 minutes
Story: Babu Bihari (Nawaz), a contract killer in Uttar Pradesh working for local leaders. Enjoying his life with his love Phulwa (Bidita). Banke Bihari (Jatin), another contract killer comes in existence & end up fighting each other.
Bullets are not only thing the men in this flick. They also have sexual appetites & relish their women. Real & rough theme which make its narration authentic with rural locations & conditions.
Kushan Nandy opens his film with a lot of promise. We meet a gun-trotting Babu and hear Amitabh Bachchan’s songs in the background. It’s mufassil Uttar Pradesh where local strongman Dubey (Anil George) loves to see his wife getting massage from a burly masseuse. Though Nandy has left it to our imagination what could have happened next.
Then there is razor-tongued Jiji (Divya Dutta) who lusts for power and abuses non-stop. She holds the key to local political thrones and takes challenges head-on.
Some moments of spontaneous laughter are of course there. For example, when Banke watches The Good, the Bad and the Ugly in Hindi and tries to imitate Clint Eastwood. Or, when Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Jatin Goswami argue who should be credited with a particular murder while their hostage supplies them the word they were looking for, which is tie-breaker.
Nawazuddin’s self-deprecating remarks and his seamless transformation from killer to lover is applause-worthy. Jatin Goswami cuts an impressive figure as Bankey.
Newcomer Bidita Bag shines in her role as Nawazuddin's love interest. Her raw sexuality keeps both Babu and the viewer on the edge. Divya as the local behenji does not let her down.
This is a raw gangster saga without hi-tech gadgets & expensive elements.
