Blogging on a movie after 10 months and that's this:
Andhadhun is a phenomenon! Sriram Raghavan is back after the neo noir thing called Badlapur! It's an inexplicable watching experience, which isn't that easy to describe. Probably an 'artistic thriller' or a thriller being made artistically! Here is some original Indie creation. It happens when the collective art values of an entire crew conglomerates to fuel the final output, which makes the jigsaw puzzled art of movie making into a picture perfect completion!
Andhadhun isn't dark. Andhadhun isn't white. It's an wholesome thrilling entertainer with creative thinking at its zenith! Neither a single scene nor a shot is unimportant. It's evident that even the animals and the background details tend to say some story throughout the film. Intellectually, it's all about the grey shades of the basic instincts of post-modern human minds, where psychologically, the eccentricities and desires coincides to a pulp of events.
The movie has picked up all the geographical aspects of the city of Pune and it's social strata indeed, apropos to the script requirement. All the actors were so natural. The cinematography, editing, coloring and even the scores by Amit Trivedi takes the movie to an incredible level. Ayushmann Khurana, Radhika Apte and Tabu have performed in an immense and intense way. Probably, one of the best performances of Ayushmann Khurana. Glad to see his performance shift from the 'comic -boy- next door' style to a 'clueless' kind of character. He has essayed the role of a blind piano player so effortlessly. Tabu, was no lesser to a perfect spiderwoman! The most brilliant rendition from her after Astitva and Haider! The writer team includes four geniuses other than Sriram Raghavan, which includes Arijit Biswas, Pooja Ladha Surti, Yogesh Chandekar and Hemanth Rao- and they deserve a great applause for cooking up such a crispy, vibrant and tight bound script!
Andhadhun is nothing but an odd piece of film that stands out among the best experimental films India has ever seen. It comes into the category of movies like Chatushkone (Beng), Jigarthanda (Tam) etc.. Hats off to Viacom 18 and the whole crew behind for putting forth such a magical viewing experience.
