Description: Gopi, an Arts and Craft graduate, eagerly starts his first day as an art teacher at a school, unaware that he is about to step into a hijacking situation. The hijackers, a bizarre group unlike any other, seem to have sprung from the imagination of an eccentric mind, making them unique to this film.
“One Cut Two Cut” ventures into the risky genre of satire, which often sparks controversy with a single sharp remark. This film, however, takes a different approach. While it strays from traditional satire, it effectively delivers its message through a metaphorical narrative. Danish Sait, the creator, is known for his distinct voice. He addresses various societal issues in a way that is both humorous and thought-provoking. Set in Bangalore, the film is co-written by Danish and Vamsidhar Bhogaraju.
The story follows an innocent man who enters the education system, only to gradually lose his innocence. On the surface, the movie appears to be a lighthearted comedy featuring exaggerated, almost caricature-like characters. However, beneath the humor lies a sharp critique of the education system, highlighting issues like overcrowded schools, understaffed faculties, and inadequate facilities. These problems are not explicitly stated but are subtly conveyed through the comedy.
The film’s writing shines in its portrayal of the antagonists—a gang inspired by “Money Heist.” This eclectic group includes an RJ with a strange connection to Amitabh Bachchan, an ex-serviceman, a keyboard warrior, and a stand-up comedian. Their antics reflect real-world absurdities, such as comedians being sued for their opinions, the obsession with social media validation, and the trendiness of veganism.
Overall, “One Cut Two Cut” balances humor with social commentary, making it a clever and entertaining satire.
