![]() ![]() I remember that the movie was released just a couple of months prior to another vigilante film, the utterly unwatchable John Abraham-starrer Satyameva Jayate - a movie that pretends it’s some kind of anti-hero thriller, but is actually just about a serial killer who burns corrupt cops to death. He takes over the mantle of ‘Bhavesh Joshi’, and vows to bring the corrupt cops responsible for his friend’s death to justice. But when Bhavesh is doxxed, lynched, and eventually murdered for his vigilante activities, Siku is struck by a crisis of conscience. Siku’s evolution is communicated in a wonderful time-lapse montage of sorts, with the Mumbai skyline evolving rapidly in the background, establishing both Siku and the city as the film’s two protagonists. After spending his youth playing get-up with his stoner buddies and busting local miscreants, Siku does the ‘responsible’ adult thing and gets a job, while his friend - the titular Bhavesh - continues his idealistic crusade against corruption. It tells the story of Siku, a man trapped in the millennial malaise, looking for meaning as he stumbles ahead in life.
