Indo-Canadian actress Agam Darshi's directorial debut Donkeyhead is getting great reviews. Darshi's performance has been compared to Hollywood actress Ann Hathaway in Rachel Getting Married. Darshi has written, acted in, and directed the film Donkeyhead. The movie was released in the US earlier this year on Netflix. It will be released on Amazon Prime in Canada in the Fall.
Overall, the elaborate plot with thematic concerns, from alcoholism and gun control to the nature of vengeance and jealousy, are nothing more than window dressing for this detective story....
Aditya Roy Kapoor with his kohl-laden eyes and pseudo-Lucknowi drawl is a disaster. His painfully self-conscious performance reduces the film to a pantomime of good intentions...
Opposites don't only attract they also attack the status quo. This remake tells us it's okay to oppose draconian discipline. But we better ensure we have an alternative reality ready to take over our universe....
The film falls short on the directorial front and what adds to the disappointing fare is the bleeping of the cuss words in the dialogues owning to the censor board's diktat.
