Anubhav Sinha directorial and Ayushmann Khurrana starrer “Anek” trailer out, movie explores North East India

Mumbai, May 5 : The North Eastern region of India has always been more disconnected from the Indian mainland giving rise to many feelings of alienation and subsequent insurgent and terrorist activities. Actor Ayushmann Khurrana’s latest flick “Anek” is a bold movie that focuses on the disconnection and the resultant injustice that the people of the North East have had to suffer for years. Releasing the trailer of the movie today, the description reads: “An untold story of an undercover cop set against the geopolitical backdrop of North East India. An action-thriller about a rebellion, an uprising. An Indian, who wants nothing more than peace for the nation.” This alone gives us a sense of the guts that the movie harbours and how it is willing to present a romanticized spiced up version of a hard truth, thus unafraid to upset people’s political or other sensibilities. Questioning the regional divide of India, the movie brings a dark truth to light, the alienation and heavy racism that has been incurred unjustly on North East Indians and removing them from the fold of mainstream India almost entirely. The political action thriller movie dives further into the concepts of separatism, misinformation against the North East, terrorism, racism, and poses a very difficult question which while sounding filmy is nonetheless very true,”North Indian nahi, South Indian nahi, East nahi, West nahi….Sirf Indian kaise hota hai aadmi? (Not North, South, West or East Indian, how does one become an Indian?)” The trailer showcases high production, suspense and a soul which makes the whole movie seem very authentic and not just a pseudo nationalistic movie made to cash in on the nationalism that is currently outlining the political mood of the country. This statement is more than evident in the highly positive reception that the trailer has so far received from audiences. Netizens have approved of the trailer big time. As one user put it: “Just watched #anek trailer.. definitely gonna watch this movie.” Another user wrote: “Goosebumps aa gaye! Just the kind of movie I wanted, as an Indian. Powerful. #Anek by @AnubhavSinha starring @ayushmannk looks damn fine!” Another social media user approved of the trailer commending it. “Mind blowing Trailer With Some powerful dialogue and A story to be seen and learn. Another @ayushmannk Sir’s Movie which won’t disappoint us.” Another user described it as a blockbuster. “EPIC! @ayushmannk is back with a bang, probably with the best performance of his career..along with @anubhavsinha who is having a dream run as a director with #Mulk, #Thappad & now #Anek. This looks like a Superhit at BO & sure to win hearts”. Releasing on May 27, the movie is directed by Anubhav Sinha and stars Ayushmann Khurrana as a cop who is sent to the North East to suppress separatists and terrorists and seeks only to work for the defence of a united India while disregarding all regional divides. The movie also stars Andrea Kevichüsa, Deeplina Deka, Manoj Pahwa, Kumud Mishra, J.D.Chakravarthy.
