But if you want to see something that’s different from the run of the mill stuff that Bollywood produces so often, choose this over Kartik Aaryan’s ‘Luka Chuppi’. If you want to see a film that allows you to forget your problems over a weekend, this may not be the right choice. Unfortunately, I know that a lot of people from the Indian heartland have a different opinion. It’s high time we stopped supporting bile like ‘Total Dhamaal’ and start appreciating films like ‘Sonchiriya’ instead. While I really want to see a lot of Bollywood films like ‘Sonchiriya’, I am skeptical if it’ll earn big bucks at the box office. There’s hardly any humour (one scene did have the audience in splits though), and the background score does create an fearful atmosphere (something that goes hand-in-hand with a bandits life). In the film, almost everyone is a villain (Sushant does show compassion and Bhumi Pednekar does not have a grey shade), and you don’t feel bad when the main guys get hit by a bullet. Sushant Singh Rajput, who is definitely the biggest star of the film, doesn’t hog all the limelight and other characters have a proper part to play (and an opportunity to showcase their authentic Rajasthani accent).
#Sonchiriya review movie
Even though the story of this film moves at a slow pace, you never feel the urge to look at your mobile phone to count down the minutes until interval or until the movie ends. Along with him, the bandits traverse the ravines on their foot (sometimes without food). Sonchiriya shows that the inherent goodness of people, no matter how scarce the amount, is enough to salvage the idealism, the utopia (or Sonchiriya) of the country without letting them from. It maintains the ‘everyone crosses everyone’ metaphor very smoothly.
Man Singh (Manoj Bajpayee) is a leader of a gang of bandits which consists of Lakhna (Sushant Singh Rajput), Vakila (Ranvir Shorey) and many others. Sonchiriya Movie Review: The Last Word All said and done, Sonchiriya takes, what Bandit Queen started, a level above.
Instead, it’s a slow and gripping tale that sucks you into its world with great acting and greater dialogues. So very early on in the movie, you realize that the film doesn’t try to be a commercial potboiler. In the first scene of ‘Sonchiriya’, you see a close-up of flies feasting on a dead snake – an inauspicious sight if you ask the bandits. Sonchiriya is set in the 1970s Chambal ridden with castesim, patriarchy deeply rooted in its states, something that the previous dacoit dramas lacked.
