Psycho Raman(HKAFF 2016)

In the mid-1960s, a serial killer known as Raman Raghav terrorized the streets of Mumbai, killing 41 people. The notorious murderer is the inspiration for this deftly entertaining thriller from Gangs of Wasseypur director Anurag Kashyap. In what will be remembered as one of his most chilling performances, acclaimed Bollywood actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui stars as Raman, a psychopathic murderer in contemporary Mumbai whose monstrous nature can only be outdone by Raghav, a vile coked-up detective who is hell bent on capturing Raman. Unrelentingly dark and intensely unsettling, Psycho Raman is a jolting wake-up call for anyone who assumes that Indian cinema is only about song and dance.
