PSYCHO RAMAN 2.0

Written By Lee Carlton

DIRECTOR: Anurag Kashyap | LANGUAGE: Hindi
YEAR: 2016 | RUNNING TIME: 127 minutes | COLOR: Color
COUNTRY: India | GENRE: Crime, Thriller

SYNOPSIS: Anurag Kashyap’s ferocious neo-noir plunges into the parallel psychoses of two men stalking the same Mumbai night: Ramanna, a remorseless serial killer who styles himself after a real-life 1960s murderer, and Raghavan, a corrupt, drug-addled cop whose own moral compass broke long ago. As predator and pursuer begin to mirror one another with unnerving intimacy, Kashyap builds a queasy, propulsive thriller anchored by towering performances from Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Vicky Kaushal. Raw, brutal, and psychologically unrelenting, it stands among contemporary Hindi cinema’s boldest genre experiments.
