Shanghai (2012)
7/10
A very enjoyable 2010's crime thriller
12 May 2023
A blunt and snippy tale about crime and corruption in 2010's India. This was a time much before the rise of cheap internet and 30 minutes food delivery where coalation governments were the norm and media was actually doing its "job".

Abhay Doel has to be the stand out performance here. He plays the character of "Krishnan" with much needed subtlety and underlying strength. Prosenjit has an amazing gravitas and Kalki was fierce (with an eerie touch of anxiety). All in all, this was an absolutely stellar cast.

While, this wasn't a "Khosla ka ghosla" or "Oye Lucky Lucky Oye", it still holds up as one of the most important works from the incredible filmography of Dibakar Banarjee.
