The new film on Zee5 titled Haddi is a tale of murder and revenge, and Nawazuddin Siddique plays the role of a transgender woman in pursuit of vengeance. The plot is intriguing, and director Akshat Ajay Sharma brings his own sense of brutality, inspired by the films of Anurag Kashyap. The only part of the story that seems far-fetched is not the brutality of the violence, but the characters’ lack of rootedness. The writing falters, and after a point, it becomes irredeemable. Yet Haddi remains engaging, and Nawaz brings his A game to this film. There is also Anurag Kashyap, who acts in the film as the main antagonist. It is fun to see him on screen, trying his hand at acting. He isn’t a complete novice in this department, but his villainous turn is at times hilarious, but mostly falls flat and unconvincing. The story revolves around Nawaz’s character,...
