Heartily described as an Indian John Wick , the neo-noir franchise starring Keanu Reeves as a dark assassin, Monkey Man has Patel play hardcore Mumbaiya noir in the title role. There s violent action - of the extreme non-Gandhian type - but with soul , something we have come to relish in shows like Sacred Games, Paatal Lok and Farzi. Good that the West is finally catching up with us.
In a highly anticipated directorial debut, acclaimed actor Dev Patel's film "Monkey Man" X has garnered enthusiastic reviews from audiences, who hail its immersive portrayal of Indian culture and mythology, alongside its gripping narrative. The film that releases worldwide on April 5, is still awaiting its clearance in India.
