Anurag Kashyap, never one to mince words, has dropped a sensational review for Anil Kapoor’s ‘Subedaar’, instantly igniting debate across film circles.

Kashyap’s Review Ignites ‘Subedaar’ Hype
Anurag Kashyap has delivered a sensational review of Anil Kapoor‘s film ‘Subedaar’, stirring up significant buzz and declaring it should have been watched in theatres, not on OTT. These viral comments have suddenly raised expectations for the movie.
The action thriller drama ‘Subedaar’, featuring veteran Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor (also seen in ‘Animal’) in the lead, began streaming directly on OTT platforms on March 5th. Since its release, the film has garnered a mixed response, though its excellent portrayal of Bundelkhand’s nativity and Anil Kapoor’s performance are universally praised.
Bollywood director Anurag Kashyap was particularly mesmerized by Anil Kapoor’s acting, lauding the film and remarking that watching it in theatres would have offered a distinctly different experience. He enthusiastically noted that Anil Kapoor’s old spark in acting hasn’t diminished. Kashyap also commended director Suresh Triveni, stating, “Director Suresh Triveni of ‘Subedaar’ has very naturally depicted the patriarchal system and the behavior of people in the Bundelkhand and Chambal regions.” He further highlighted how the film “once again reminded us that on the land where figures like Phoolan Devi were born, women fight equally alongside men.”
Stellar Acting, Authentic Setting Praised
Beyond the lead, Radhika Madan also shone with a superb performance. Saurabh Shukla, too, earned Kashyap’s admiration, particularly for his unexpected action sequences. “I genuinely never expected action sequences from Saurabh Shukla (Kallu Mama) – that was completely unforeseen. It was truly very enjoyable, sir,” Kashyap remarked.
These enthusiastic comments from Anurag Kashyap regarding ‘Subedaar’ are now widely circulating.
Looking Ahead
Anurag Kashyap’s widely circulating praise for ‘Subedaar’ only cements it: this Anil Kapoor vehicle was cinematic gold, undeniably meant for the big screen and our shared experience. Let’s hope producers learn from this glaring oversight, ensuring quality narratives aren’t denied their rightful theatrical grandeur.
