This is an amazing movie and considering it is Kashyap's first attempt, it should be lauded. The characters are very real and performance are spot on. I have once crossed paths with a character like Luke. Character of Luke was so brilliantly written, I think Kashyap would have also crossed paths with somebody like Luke. K.K has given a superb performance. But I still don't think K.K. was able to capture the character with perfection. I understood just what look Kashyap wanted in Luke especially when he is committing violence. It is hard to describe. He is under influence of drugs, but instead of being mellowed and spaced out, he is hyper and manic. You wouldn't even notice it if it was not for his eyes. In those moments he seems to have lost all reason, can lash out at friends and foes alike with equal abandon. Friendly a minute and hostile the next. Even looking into his eyes is treated as an insult.
My only gripe is that the characters should have been played by younger actors, but I understand that Kashyap would have had hard time finding a younger crop of actors that could have given such performances.
I cannot understand why this was not passed by censors. Thankfully things have changed enough that a movie like LSD passed the censors. I hope that Kashyap appeals to censors once again. It should be able to go through censors easily now.
