Ali Fazal Says No To Glorifying Criminals In New Film ‘Raakh’
- Ali Fazal talks about the dark story of Ranga-Billa.
- Why the film avoids making villains look like heroes.
- The gritty visual style of the new project.
We just saw Ali Fazal get very honest about his new project, Raakh. It deals with a dark part of India’s past. We are talking about Ranga and Billa. They were names that scared everyone back in the day.
Ali was very clear. He says the movie won’t make them look like heroes. No way. It’s about the facts. It’s about the chilling reality. We love that he’s taking a stand. Finally.
The film has a very specific aesthetic. Think dark. Moody. It has a gritty, raw texture that feels like an old polaroid left in the rain. It isn’t pretty. But it is very real.
Speaking of raw talent, Raakh actors Akash Makhija and Ramandeep Yadav just won their first award! That is a huge win for the team. We are so proud of them.
It’s refreshing to see small films making big waves. Just look at how a tiny Rs 7.5 crore movie just crushed the box office lately. People want real stories now. They want depth.
And while we are on the topic of family and names, everyone is asking: So, Does Baby Vihaan Look More Like Vicky or Katrina? Grandpa Sham Kaushal finally spilled the tea on that one!
Our Take
We think it’s brave. Cinema often tries to make bad guys look ‘cool’ or edgy. Ali Fazal and the directors are doing the opposite. They are showing us the shadows. As art graduates, we appreciate that honesty. It is about the truth, not just the fame.
