Hard Hitting!

After a long time, I have come across a potent film that dives deep into the sage of Indian demonetization and how various power groups were affected by it. Written and directed by Sourabh Shukla, this film is 1888, a 2023 Kannada feature shot using guerilla filmmaking techniques. The film stars Neethu Shetty as Sandhya Shetty, Prathap Kumar as Vikas and Adhvithy Shetty as Ankita.Being both the writer and the director of the film, Sourabh Shukla has his work cut out for him but he manages to do justice to each of these roles with ease. The script is exciting and has plenty of twists and turns as the trio are put through a series of tumultuous tests. The characters are fleshed out; the superstar turned aspirant politician, the insurance agent and the mysterious man will make an uneasy alliance to get a life changing sum of money. However, things don't always go according to plan and once self interests come into play, anything can happen.As this central twist simmers in the background, Sourabh Shukla packs the story with plenty of human drama as the multitude of characters collide together in a chaotic struggle, each working in the service of their own goals and desires. The ending is unexpected and manages to give closure to our characters' journey, offering a mix of redemption and melancholy for the audience as compensation.The narrative pacing is on point and the guerilla filmmaking techniques employed elevate the film both thematically and visually. Shukla does not let the film's budget get in the way of his aspirations and thus, manages to create an epic that will cement his rise as the next great Indian filmmaker.Thus, 1888 is a potent drama that manages to say so much about demonetization and crime in India as it takes the viewer on an unforgettable journey into the country's criminal underbelly. The film looks fantastic, boasts great performances and goes into unexpected directions that we seldom expect it to. As Sourabh Shukla's first film, this is nothing less than a home run; one that manages to impress in more ways than one. We give the film five stars out of five.

A great film, must watch!

1888 Kannada movie deserves as a lot of applause as it is wonderfully made using guerrilla film making techniques, which isn't an easy thing to do. Movie starts with introduction of main characters who have done a great job. Your curiosity increases with every scene and the second half is simply awesome. Neetu Shetty and all the actors have given their best! For debutant, Sourabh Shukla has done a fantastic job, no wonder it was appreciated globally and got recognised with prestigious awards! We wish Kannada film industry and people of Karnataka support such talents and encourage them to do more such works!
