Choked: Paisa Bolta Hai to keep you hooked even with an uncertain destination
Choked: Paisa Bolta Hai is a bilingual film that has been creating quite a buzz among movie lovers ever since the trailer was released. Unlike the popular belief amongst people, which has been deciphered from the trailer, the film is not quite about demonetization as an independent concept. It surely uses the incidents that followed this move to build the storyline, but does not particularly focuses on the merits or demerits of the economic reform. The best part about the 1 hour 54 minute-piece is the way it depicts the life of a middle-class family in Mumbai. It is raw and sincere, like every other Anurag Kashyap movie about the working class. Saiyami Kher, Amruta Subhash, and Roshan Mathew shine bright in every frame. The writers do not disappoint either.The script is crisp and to the point. Another aspect that needs mention is its catchy and expressive soundtrack and background score.
The story of Choked: Paisa Bolta Hai builds well and keeps you hooked throughout. There are moments in the film when you cannot help but sympathise with the character even if their actions go downhill. The relatability factor has been used in the finest way possible since every citizen in the country is aware of the anxiety, fear, and excitement that one suffered post the declaration of demonetization. Choked keeps the audience guessing until the very last minute. However, even after all the realism and authentic representation, the ending comes out to be quite sugar-coated, in general. Overall, this film is worth every minute that it takes from you. Watch Choked: Paisa Bolta Hai for the cinematic brilliance that it comes with.
