A bold experiment
anu-8177915 August 2020
Movie starts at a slow pace and then gain momentum. Boldly opens up some eternal , unpleasant truths of life . Natural acting by all especially the bartender . Could have been a little more narrative which might have helped in pace. Overall a good watch

Not truly surrealistic. A tale of Alcoholism maybe.
atherali07517 September 2020
I was expecting it to be a better experience. It's a good movie, but it doesn't have a particular point. It's not truly surrealistic as some reviewers claim it to be. The movie's more about the perception than the story or screenplay, as there's nothing much happening. Not clear about what it wants to be, arthouse or philosophical.

Confusing disappointment
praanavrox1 August 2020
The movie was going for a complex, nuanced and theatrical spectacle, however, it was poorly executed. There was no coherency between the scenes or the dialogue of the characters nor was there any character or theme to fall back to that gave the surreal aspect any weight. I can definitely see heart and care in this work, but in all honesty, no aspect of this film was "deep" or thought-provoking, something one would expect from an art film like this. I found myself struggling to piece together what the creators meant to accomplish or meant to convey with every scene before I could even come to my own thoughts and interpretations of it. The acting was sub-par and was kind of distracting. The dialogue and dubbing was a little jarring as well.

All in all it WAS a surreal experience, but not because of the work in and of itself, but because of its incoherent nature.

Very Unique Theme

Elam has won three awards at an international award function. It has a very unique and different themed story.

A True Depiction of Bollywood Dramatic Art
JohnSill-up12 August 2020
If you don't appreciate art and the craftsmanship it takes to create art in motion, then you won't be able to see the subtle movements and characters that make this piece worth a watch. This movie looks into the mind of the characters in true Bollywood fashion, mixing humor, tragedy, and subtlety.

Expanded my genre during Covid!
harifian19 August 2020
I stumbled on this film after exhausting my usual preferences during quarantine. What a welcomed change and interesting movie! Easy to watch with English subtitles. Enjoyed the music and multiple storylines intertwined. Thank you for sharing a diverse collection on Amazon!
