This long-ass film flies by and somehow feels joyous even in its most violent moments, mainly due to the Matrix-esque action sequences, that show-stopping dance scene, and its ability to tell this story without throwing around the white savior trope—loved it. ⏰⏰⏰⏰
Josh:
This is the first “Tollywood” film I’ve seen, and it’s everything my favorite Bollywood films are, and there’s more of it, from stunningly choreographed superhero action to joyous dance numbers, to its righteous anti-imperialist, nonviolent (just kidding) message, and I was entranced throughout, and so glad I picked it for Secret Movie Club, despite the length, which I never even felt. ⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰
