A perfect score for a perfect movie.
The aesthetic of the film has my heart, not to mention the message and depth that each and every damn character had. It is usually hard to see in Hindi films these days, and then there is this masterpiece of a movie. The way it explores character development (a bit rushed at the end, but unnoticeable because it's just too beautiful) like Pallavi and Pam's, which were the turning points of the movie, is exemplary.
Esha is a conventional rich girl character, who also broke my stereotype and remained an angel of a character till the end. All actors really brought out the best in their roles, be it being an irritating presence or supporting, there's no way one wouldn't fall in love with the cast (I mean, I did). If I go on, this will probably I wish they had delved more into Pallavi and Kanchan's past relationship (which I believe hasn't died down now either) as it was both precious and something an audience like me would have loved to watch.
“I'll be born as a man in my next life. Will you run away with me then?”
“No, in my next life also I only want Kanchan” :heart:
And to all those who are still confused, this "movie" served as a special episode and teaser for the upcoming season to the Kingdom franchise. And dare I say, it served its purpose excellently.
Initially this special episode didn't sit well with me, with its predictable plot and niche-tropey characters and dialogues. This movie however, is an adrenaline ride made to serve as a curiosity and expectation fueling teaser to both the franchise and premise of the story. Well that much is obvious to all audience, but with unprecedented aspects such as addition of psychological genre and a vengeance-motivated and [somewhat] sadist and masochist anti-hero, the series has plucked up my ears and interest yet again. As most Korean stuff, this too goes way over the board with its concept for the sake of story, in a rather haphazard and unnecessarily desperate manner, but that's again what makes this good shit worth a watch. This is one of those things, for me, which are charming as they are because of their first watch. Basically, can't watch it again for I get what it wanted to do and I'm fired up for the next season lol
I came to know about the existence of a teaser such as this, given its relation to one of my most-appreciated Korean franchises, I am glad and relieved that I could watch this. A must watch for those who like/love the original series, and don't judge a movie by its beginning. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
