Black Friday and Paanch | Rise of AK | Under Lens

Paanch was remade last year as Shaitaan. Shaitaan was the most successful production of Anurag Kashyap, but Paanch didn’t even release. This shows the kind of shift that has come about in Hindi Movie scene. Thats good for Anurag Kashyap.

Paanch is where Anurag Kashyap’s legend began. As Paanch was banned from releasing, Anurag went to newspapers and news channels. People started noticing him. Suddenly he became poster boy for everything that was wrong with Indian censorboard. he became rallying point. In my opnion, Ban in release of Paanch did him more good than its release would have. Paanch could just have been an unnoticed Indie made by a writer who was on team of Ram Gopal Verma.

Then came Black Friday, and I thought,’Let’s see, what this guy is all about’. I grabbed the DVD, and about 2 hours later I was blown away. Level of detail in characters, historical accuracy, Motivation of characters, direction, performances everything was spot on. I can safely say that, personally for me none of Anurag’s film yet have beaten Black Friday. Even Gangs of Wasseypur. Disagree? Tell us in the comments
