Review of SonyLIV’s Kadakh: Care For A Flat Satire On Suicide?
Kadakh (Sony LIV) Starring Ranveer Shorey, Manasi Multani, Palomi Ghosh, Cyrus Sahukar, Rajat Kapoor,Kalki Koechlin. Tara Sharma, Shruti Seth , Sagar Deshmukh Directed by Rajat Kapoor Rating: **(2 stars) Not now, please! A film based on suicide would have to work really hard to get laughs out of us. Kadakh is the laziest satire from the otherwise-excellent celluloid satirist Rajat Kapoor. This time, I am afraid, Rajat has bitten more than he can chew. Considering the characters talk about and eat for a large part of the film, that pretty much sums up the w | Click Here...
