Kaithi

Kaithi is not your usual mass-action movie that requires a packed theatre and a cheering crowd. This movie can be savored, even on a solo watch in the comfort of your home. An engaging script that keeps the viewer hooked to the plot is accompanied by hard-hitting dialogues that leave a sour after-taste.

Are all lives equal? Why do we value the lives of some more than others? Dilli, an ex-con in the movie, is robbed of his ability to make informed choices leaving him in a precarious situation. The same can be said for the boy who accompanies him. Of course, Dilli here is protected by plot armor and comes out unscathed. But that is beside the point. There are many Dilli’s among us, people whom we consider expendable, as a means to achieve our end. “No” is often a luxury they cannot afford.

When you come out of a mass movie with such thoughts, its safe to conclude the creators have done well.

Rating: 4/5
