I was always there in the right place at the right time
Always willing to take advantage of an opportunity
Writer and director Prawaal Raman presents a fictitious thriller, inspired by true events and told from the perspective of respected Indian cop, Amod Kanth who handled the notorious case of serial killer, Charles Sobhraj.
Main (Amod Kanth) aur Charles (Randeep Hooda) is shot in Bangkok, Delhi, Goa, Mumbai, Pattay & Udaipur and stars the very talented Richa Chaddha. Co-stars Adil Hussain and Tosca Chopra look very satisfying the 2-minutes trailer.
After Beeba Boys was received in International Film Festivals, Randeep Hooda can be seen in a very new avatar and looks highly impressive. Shot in older era, cinematographer Anshuman Mahaley would have surely done a great deal of work to give us the best shots.
The movie revolves around Charles, an enigmatic con man and a vicious killer, and the lives he touched with his inescapable charm and mysterious personality.We follow Charles, who is literally evil personified, as he manipulates innumerable people to facilitate his jail break. The thin line between his victims and accomplices include a copywriter of an international ad agency clinging on to Charles for hope, a royal princess seeking adventure in an otherwise bland life, a young hippie girl hopelessly drawn towards him, and an innocent law student Mira madly in love with the dreams sold by Charles amongst various others – from a financial wizard, an extortionist from Haryana to a helpless prison supervisor. Bit by bit, the character of Charles is revealed through all those who encountered him. Probably the only person who interacted with Charles the least, Commisioner Amod Kanth, was affected by him the most. We see the impact of Charles on all through the eyes of Amod Kanth – and their ever raging battle of good and evil, where good eventually wins but evil always resurfaces. This story, set in the 1980s, shows how Charles escapes from Indias most securely guarded prison and is then subsequently arrested once again in Goa. It reveals the story behind the seemingly simple cat and mouse game between Amod Kanth and Charles. But more importantly, the movie gives the world a peek into the dangerous mind of Charles, how he led different people to perceive him differently, how he filled the vacuum in their lives and ultimately, his dark world where right and wrong blend into a charming and mystique grey existence.
Hoping that the bikini killer won’t be too glorified and we see how twisted and evil serial killers can be.
The movie releases on October 30, 2015.
