AK vs AK Movie Review :

The Netflix original, directed by Vikramaditya Motwane, blurs the line between reality and fiction. Anil Kapoor (AK) and Anurag Kashyap (AK) play themselves and take swipes at each other in a trippy actor-director tussle.

An off-the-wall two-hander that bends a whole bunch of Bollywood rules, AK vs AK is unclassifiable fare. For the sake of convenience, let us call it is a mockumentary where a hostage thriller meets a madcap caper that swivels ceaselessly in a manner that we did not know was within the realms of possibility in a Hindi movie.

The film opens in a veteran movie star's vanity van. A 'persona non grata' director sneaks in and broaches a grotesque idea for a movie. It's the actor's birthday and he is late for a family get-together. But the supplicant is in no mood to take no for an answer. That is precisely what AK vs AK is like: so way-out that it has no no-go areas.

The Netflix original film, directed by Vikramaditya Motwane, blurs the line between reality and fiction. Enduring Hindi movie star Anil Kapoor (AK) and independent cinema maverick Anurag Kashyap (AK) play themselves and take swipes at each other in a trippy actor-director tussle that is, for all intents and purposes, an extended in-joke. The action unfolds in the course of one night - December 24, Kapoor's birthday.

The rollercoaster encounter, filmed fly-on-the-wall style, centres on the kidnapping of Kapoor's daughter Sonam (who puts in an appearance along with brother Harshvardhan, who laments the harm Motwane's BhaveshJoshi Superhero has done to his career and hopes Kashyap will help reverse his fortunes with Bhavesh Joshi 2).

Kashyap, a director humiliated in public by Kapoor, is out to settle scores. He conjures up a script that involves a race against time to find and rescue the hostage before sunrise, all to be filmed in real time. Kapoor is beside himself with rage but the danger that his daughter is in compels him to play along.

AK vs AK is a wild, wacky shot in the dark. It could have been a disaster had the brains behind it did not know what they were up against. That certainly isn't the case. The film's self-awareness borders on the staggering.

All things considered, AK vs AK is a minor miracle. It's worth embracing with all our might. It is Hindi cinema's Halley's Comet. It is unlikely we will see anything like this ever again.
