How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A grand, mythic tragedy following a man's descent from victimized son to feared gangster, where each act of power becomes another link in a chain of moral compromise. The film watches like a Shakespearean drama unfolding in the streets and slums of Mumbai, ambitious, lyrical, and suffused with the weight of choices that cannot be undone.
