The Contrarians228 - Pt. 2

We already name-dropped Daredevil and Hitchcock in the Contrarians Corner write-up, so let’s reference our friend Peter Bogdanovich in Real Talk, because… wouldn’t he had loved this elevator pitch? But what happens when director Sriram Raghavan takes ANDHADHUN in a different direction? Do we have an overload of reversals here? What’s with the ending? We get into it in this Real Talk segment!

Up next, we cue up another Haddonfield Night, as we tackle the maligned HALLOWEEN: RESURRECTION! Until then, let us know what you thought of Andhadhun: Did you think the ending was ambiguous? Did you wish the musical numbers were more spectacular? Would this work better as a full-on comedy? E-mail us at wearethecontrarians@gmail.com or share your thoughts with us on Threads or BlueSky!
