Review of Kennedy

Kennedy (2023)
6/10
Mid (MAMI MFF 2023 #19)
6 November 2023
Kennedy is a mid film because all the bits I liked about it came out as peripheral devices like dialogues that take potshots at police apathy or political ideologies. The references are superb and I loved them. I watched this at the 2023 MAMI Mumbai Film Festival and people were hooting for dialogues like "Mi Marathi Mannooss" (I'm a Marathi guy), so you can imagine that what works for the film is not what's in the core. The core is where a hitman, a former cop, who works for the commissioner goes berserk because he's behind a guy for revenge. The rawness and violence that arise as a result are thrilling to watch though I felt the occasional hiphop song and the monoact performance in the middle and Sunny Leone laughing instead of speaking every time a character is aruond her felt sore. I'm not saying it's a bad film but it's not extraordinary.
