| Episode 38- Anokhi Raat | 23 Jul 2023 | 00:09:55 | |
A brave experimental film about one chaotic night Music by JuliusH from Pixabay | |||
| Dulhan Ek Raat Ki | 28 Dec 2025 | 00:12:32 | |
The film is inspired by Thomas Hardy’s famous controversial novel Tess of The D’Ubervilles. Despite a strong cast and magnificent music, the film failed miserably at the box office. My best guess is that its bleak, uncompromising subject matter may have kept audiences away. Dulhan Ek Raat Ki is a very gloomy tale and it gives you the illusion that you know where exactly it’s headed, only to surprise you at crucial moments. | |||
