"Moonsoon Shootout" was one among the quality films screened at the Dubai International Film Festival as part of the “Celebration of India” category.
Following critical acclaim in Cannes, director Amit Kumar’s “Monsoon Shootout” masterfully blends a dark cop thriller with an intriguing narrative style. It explores the impact that one man’s choices make on the lives of others. As heavy monsoon rains lash the badlands of Mumbai, Adi, a gun-toting, rookie cop is out on his first assignment. His alternative decisions take him on a morality shedding journey, pitting him against a system where the boundaries between the law, crime and self-survival get dangerously blurred. An ensemble cast including Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Viray Varma, Tannishtha Chatterjee and Neeraj Kabi offer edgy performances in this rollercoaster ride of a film.
