Anurag Kashyap, who is known for cult-classics like ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’, ‘Black Friday’, ‘Gulaal’ and others, is putting a price cap on the newer talents who want to meet him for a potential collaboration.
This action comes in the light of the filmmaker’s claims about random people meeting him and adding up nothing to his films or ending up giving mediocre work to him.
The filmmaker took to his Instagram on Saturday and shared a long note notifying his followers about the change in his approach.
Anurag wrote: “I wasted a lot of time trying to help newcomers and mostly ended up with mediocre s**t. So now onwards I don’t want to waste my time with meeting random people who think they’re creative geniuses. So I will now have rates.”
He further mentioned, “If someone wants to meet me for 10-15 minutes I will charge Rs 1 lakh,...

It seems that the aesthetics of Western are having an impact in Hindi cinema nowadays, since after “Gangubai”, “Thar” also implements a similar approach, and even more intently one could say, particularly due to the story and the action here, which also moves towards noir, exploitation and thriller paths.
The story takes place in 1985 in the northern border of India, mostly in Munabao, a small town where Sureka Singh is the chief inspector. As the movie begins, a number of gunmen start shooting the place, while the tortured corpse of a man is found hanging from a tree. Sureka believes the instigators are either dacoit bandits or opium smugglers, since the area bordering Pakistan is infested with them. Along with his deputy, Bhur, he investigates but the case is proven more complicated than he initially thought. The appearance of Siddharth, a young and handsome man who is looking for some...

NetflixIn this terrifying dystopian world divided by religion, Radhika Apte plays a convincing interrogation officer.Saraswati DatarWhat if a prisoner enters a frightening detention centre but ends up being scarier than anything or anyone its blood-soaked walls and floors have seen before? That’s the premise British filmmaker Patrick Graham set out with over four years ago when he first developed the concept of Ghoul. The second Netflix original from India, Ghoul is jointly produced by Blumhouse Productions, Ivanhoe Pictures and India's Phantom Films (Sacred Games). Set in a not so distant but definitely dystopian future, Ghoul establishes a country, presumably India, where cities are divided into religious zones. Nationalistic fervour is slowly morphing into a paranoid psychosis, and the lines between the protector and the persecutor have all but blurred. The government or the military power that rules this nation has laid down strict diktats which control every aspect of its citizen’s lives.

Blackmail
Starring Irrfan Khan, Kriti Kulhari, Arunodoy Singh, Divya Dutta, Praduman Singh, Anuja Sathe, Omi Vaidya
Directed by Abhinay Deo
If I didn’t know about Irrfan’s health issue I’d still be shaken by his hangdog unenthusiastic expression as he plods through his chosen life of a born loser in this savagely funny satire on adultery and blackmail.
In the strikingly shot (by cinematographer Jay Oza) opening we see Irrfan struggling to stay afloat through his office hours, fighting shy of going home because the spark has gone from his marriage and wife who watches cheesy song sequences on television to while away her time. Actually it was never there, the spark I mean. In a wedding song that comes on at the end of the film taken from Irrfan’s Dev’s marriage to Reena (Kirti Kulhari) seven years earlier, we see how mismatched and ill-at-ease the couple was.

Raman Raghav 2.0
Starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Vicky Kaushal
Directed Anurag Kashyap
There is something chillingly final and fearsome about the complete ruination of the moral order in Raman Raghav 2.0.
400 years ago Shakespeare realized there was a rotten core to civilization. Anurag Kashyap is the Bard’s most unlikely disciple. Portraying a world that is irreversibly stripped of a moral centre Kashyap creates a grim bleak repugnant but brilliant picture of Mumbai’s underbelly where rats and pavement dwellers share the same sleeping space.
There is no hero in Raman Raghav. We saw it coming. We’ve seen the rapid evaporation of heroism from the cinema of Kashyap, to the point where now, in his latest and arguably his most accomplished work, Raman and Raghav, as played with virile adeptness by Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Vickey Kaushal are the two faces of red-hot diabolism.
You see, they both kill for pleasure.
