It's okay. I wouldn't plan your time around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for anyone who likes their monsters enormous and anyone who enjoys a good scare. The scale is huge: humanity is very much the underdog. Same wavelength as Creature from the Black Lagoon or Carnival of Souls.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Tense from early on, at 2 hr 13 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Hindi, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1966: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you like your stories firmly grounded in the real world.
"An enraged Gogola charges into the city wreaking vengeance by destroying many public lives, buildings and properties…" Pressbook synopsis. A Bollywood clone of Godzilla. While not being the only monster movie to come from India or Bollywood, it is the most recognizable despite being currently lost.
