Description: Kuttey (translated as Dogs) is a 2023 Indian Hindi-language action thriller film directed by Aasmaan Bhardwaj in his directorial debut. The movie is produced by Vishal Bhardwaj Films, T-Series Films, and Luv Films. Featuring an ensemble cast including Tabu, Arjun Kapoor, Naseeruddin Shah, Radhika Madan, Konkona Sen Sharma, Kumud Mishra, and Shardul Bhardwaj, it was released theatrically on January 13, 2023.
The plot revolves around a van transporting a large sum of cash. On a rainy night on the outskirts of Mumbai, three separate gangs unknowingly cross paths while pursuing the same target. Each group has the same objective, leading to a chaotic clash. The narrative explores the theme of greed and survival as the characters fight for the ultimate prize.
While the film struggles with uneven pacing and is somewhat overshadowed by its predecessor, Kaminey, it effectively serves as a stylized and politically charged allegory. Through its sharp shifts in perspective and overlapping timelines, Kuttey delivers a gripping commentary on a world driven by human greed, betrayal, and desperation. Drawing parallels to the behaviors of animals in the wild, the film delves into the darker aspects of society, questioning the true nature of power and nationhood.
With a screenplay co-written by the director, the movie incorporates dark humor and relies on its talented cast to expose the hidden ugliness beneath the facade of law, order, and societal structures. Ultimately, Kuttey raises a poignant question: Whose nation is this, and who are we truly trying to protect?
