‘Flip’ Review



Four tales disparate in tone and subject come together from the anthology series, the filmmaker along with a vague atmosphere of suspense being the only thread which weaves them together (Nambiar is your founder and has also led three to four episodes). There is a solid cast, a few intriguing narrative methods and engaging tales, but nothing stands out. The promised spins for every narrative are not as shocking as the founders would have you think.

The selection of the lot is Massage, the next installment, which starts out as a magical romance, acquires a surrealist signature and after that requires a tragi-comic turn. Jim Sarbh is in great shape as Keke, a Parsi man whose companion sends him to get a"happy ending" massage instead of a pre-wedding coach party. The excursion to the health club takes an odd twist as Keke finds himself at an 20-year-coma and wakes up into a drastically different truth.

The zany episode is nicely paced and cruises in addition to its own performances -- yet another notable twist is by Viraf Patel. Nambiar is obviously having fun as he cashes in on irreverent Parsi humour, where Gujarati and Hindi come to get a run of expletive-laden observations.

The very first incident, The Hunt, stands out because of its cinematography. The Black Mirror-style dystopian adventure occurs in an alternate reality where humans, rather than creatures, are fair game. The 45-minute event is set in a sprawling jungle as well as also the camera evocatively captures the greenery, waterfalls and streams from which untold horrors are put to unfold.

There are many prospective parables concerning the hunter and the hunted. However, the narrative doesn't develop its interesting possibilities and the attention rather shifts to a far more ordinary strand of this narrative.

Episode two, Bully, is raised by Ranvir Shorey's performance as a feisty teenager who develops to an ineffectual adult following a traumatic episode strips off him all bravado and spine. The 24-minute narrative advantages from Shorey's existence, who participates in the layers together with his expressions and communicates the temptations of a repressed man with no outlet for his angst.

Directed by Aman Sachdeva, the incident follows Mathur's personality as he tells two friends about a curse that kills each of the patriarchs of his household about the weekends of the own sons. The protagonist has chosen to not have kids, but a current experience makes him think he might not have shaken off his destiny after all. Mathur attempts to soldier amidst scenic observations concerning the illusory nature of life and raucous struggles.
