srishh⭐ 10/10
The ‘Cri-peak’ does exactly what it’s called. Using humour it talks about how censorship creates a block on art causing artists to struggle and hence take on unconventional paths to convey their message. Art is a universal form of communication and if we start policing it, how is that freedom of speech? The movie at first glance doesn’t seem serious as Kaustubh does an amazing job with his writing skills. A must watch for everyone , as long as you okay with some cursing 😹 rest I assure you’d be having a fun time watching. Important: my beloved did a phenomenal job with his vfx skills 🤍
