Just finished watching this little dynamite of a movie and simply had to give a shout out. Once in a while a movie comes along which either makes u laugh or cry or forces you to open your mind and realise certain facts of life. This movie definitely makes you do the latter. The scariest kind of horror is not a malicious spirit or angry soul or demon lurking to kill or possess you... It is the sheer depravity and cruelty that are possible by some human minds. Kidnap brings that kind of worst horror from the dark depths to the fore.
The casting is so apt that you refuse to feel that these are actors and not real life characters themselves. Also checked up online about the director, Pramod Mohan, this is apparently the first movie directed by him and he is a talent to watch out for ... Its easy to understand why. He has a deft & uncommercial touch ( it's a compliment ) and the movie benefits from having a stark and grim atmosphere all around.
The director Pramod Mohan has given birth to this genius of a script, which while highlighting the social travesties that still exist across the length and breadth of India, also has you rooting for the underdog and has you cheering ( with some expletives thrown in) whenever the underdogs strike back. She is a talent to watch out for. Someone who can write scripts like that in Mollywood and has the courage to not water it down for a more universal audience should be applauded.
Kidnap is the movie of the year. It won't make you laugh... It's not a breezy popcorn movie.... But, it will get under your skin and show you the brutal travesties that still occur in our country.
