‘John Day’ directed by first-timer Ahishor Solomon, is yet another commendable attempt that should find a place in this illustrious list. The first thing that catches your eye is the manner in which the drama unfurls. It is dark, sinister and edgy. You need to have a strong stomach to absorb the aggression and ghastly sequences that unfurl on screen. Also, the usage of expletives is another characteristic that might make you slightly uncomfortable, although it gels well with Randeep's character and the temper of the motion picture. Furthermore, the tempo, though swift-paced at most times, does tend to get sluggish intermittently. All in all, it is a forceful and intense film and the director gets it right by casting two intense actors, who add a lot of weight to the goings-on. On the whole, the flick is a razor-sharp thriller with an engaging screenplay, high-voltage drama and sterling performances as its aces. A film like this is a leap in the right direction. It reinforces your faith and trust in qualitative films and deserves to be supported. Strongly recommended!
