sonchiriya movie review

CINECRAFT BUZZ
Cast: Sushant Singh Rajput, Manoj Bajpayee, Bhumi Pednekar
Directed By: Abhishek Chaubey
Genre: Drama
Story: When after its signature tune the national news channel announces the declaration of
emergency on the radio, a group of bandits enters a village in the ravines of Chambal. The chief of the pack
warns everybody of dire consequences if they don’t cooperate but little does he know that flying bullet
are far less deadly than the haunting images from his bloody past.
Performance: Sushant Singh Rajput’s Lakhna is team Man Singh because the Thakurs have their own
gang but he might be contemplating branching out or who knows, surrender! A sudden entry in the
team Indumati (Bhumi Pednekar) could have shown him the way but it’s far from being a love story.

Director Abhishek Chaubey (Ishqiya, Udta Punjab) glides us into the harsh lifestyle of bandits or rebels as
they like to call themselves. They speak of their difficulties in as many words but can’t leave this life
because they have never known anything better. It’s cruel, pointless and vengeful. Everything is
personal and nothing is personal.
Positives: Despite the violence, of all kinds, being at the helm, Sanchirico successfully manages to be a film
about the bigger picture and larger good
Negative: At 143-minutes, a unidirectional Sonchiriya wouldn’t let you crave for a spicier set-up. Its very
intense and dark and not everyone could enjoy a film like it

Final Verdict: A one time watch
We rate this film3 /5 star.
