Vishal Bhardwaj is the latest Bollywood luminary to rave about the ‘Assi’ trailer, praising its boldness in unveiling society’s bitter truths and branding it as quintessential film journalism.
Anubhav Sinha returns with another provocative tale, building on ‘Mulk’ and ‘Thappad’. The trailer masterfully captures routine hardships and women’s plight through compelling visuals and dialogue that linger long after viewing.
On Instagram, Bhardwaj enthused, ‘Such drama, power, and relevance. This is film journalism – society’s mirror.’ His shoutout to Sinha and Pannu has sparked widespread buzz, positioning ‘Assi’ as an early awards contender.
Pannu portrays a fierce lawyer undeterred by obstacles, backed by a formidable lineup including Revaathy, Kanii Kusruti, Manoj Pahwa, Kumud Mishra, and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub. Special appearances by Naseeruddin Shah, Supriya Pathak, and Seema Pahwa promise cinematic gold.
Produced jointly by T-Series and Banaras Media Works under Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, and Anubhav Sinha, the film releases February 20. Early reactions suggest it could ignite national discourse on justice and gender equity.
In a landscape flooded with escapism, ‘Assi’ cuts through with purpose. Bhardwaj’s acclaim reinforces its stature, urging cinephiles to mark their calendars for a film that entertains while enlightening.
