Sulekha Reviewer, Sulekha

Anurag Kashyap's cinema is radical, it defines norms but the question is how far can one Go? Its not 'unbelievable' that some people don't 'believe', but a good cinema always tells two sides of a story. Anurag pens 'Udaan' with Vikramaditya Motwane and also gives him the chance to helm the film where the story is told in only one angle from the boys point of view and further it doesn't explain the era, means in which year, period, decade the incident took place is absent. If done so, the questions which will follow might not have come up.
