If you're into the idea of a John Wick esque action movie where Dev Patel fights the BJP and RSS then I really recommend this.

It doesn't outright name the BJP but it's pretty obvious. It's also got some good commentary on land seizures, along with the treatment of indigenous and Muslim communities in India. Also some good representation of the Hijra community which I haven't seen mentioned in much Western media

Awesome! Which bits?

It also brings back the vaunted subgenre of action movie where there's really only two big fight scenes, but they're amazing

Yeah it's good. I do wish they had

spoilerActually had the balls to kill the BJP leader, but maybe we'll get a sequel where that happens.

spoilerAgreed, though it was still funny to see Modi portrayed as a coward who runs away

i keep thinking this is a documentary about ska and get disappointed that it's not but i've heard it's sick.

[-] MaxOS@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

Yeah it was pretty cool

Wonder when it will hit torrents/streaming. There were quite a few scenes that had good agitprop potential, at least I remember thinking that at a few points when I saw it.
