Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Kammula's first crime film after two decades of romances—like Richard Linklater making a heist movie, but angrier.
The 'benami' system depicted is real: India's 2016 demonetization exposed trillions in nominee-held black money, making this accidentally topical for years.
