If you dig cinema with no frills, you will love this one. Crass, hilariously realistic, and unabashedly desi, ‘Kerry on Kutton’ is a roller coaster ride into the world of 4 local boys who want it all.

 

The film opens with one of the best making-out scenes we've seen in Hindi cinema. It's hurried, awkward and disastrous. It is the kind of film where the writers, director and actors have plugged into not just the characters, but also the circumstance they were born into, the place and, hence, their stories. This shines throughout Kerry on Kutton and it's no mean feat. Kerry on Kutton carries in its sounds, sights and similes a strong stench of Baghi Balia, a dusty patch of UP badland that's not just nostalgic about the reputation it once had, but can also be delusional. We see a proper kancha (marbles) game, and smile on hearing, "Touchiya gaye kya?" The flavour, cheeky scenes, crackling dialogue, shitting in the open, all carry the unmistakable stench of the dehat. Apart from confident writing and Yadav's astute direction, it's the uninhabited acting by Satyajeet Dubey, Aditya Kumar and Aradhana Jagota that really make the film crackle. It's almost as if these three were born and still dwell there and if we were to visit Balia, we’d probably pass them by." Another revered critic Sankhayan Ghosh writes in Hindu, "In the bizarrely named Kerry on Kutto , a clandestine meeting between Jyoti (Aradhana Jagota) and Kerry (Satyajeet Dubey) takes place in an aloo ka gudaam – a potato godown. Before we know it, they are making out. While they are at it, they make fart jokes and Jyoti remarks on Kerry's pan-stained teeth, "Itna masala kyun khaate ho?" before engaging in a long smooch.This scene from the film stands out as it bends the rules of the standard lovemaking scene in Hindi cinema. It is more carnal desire than genteel lovemaking. And the embracing of the inappropriateness, albeit done in a comical way, is a welcome change. In Kerry on Kutton, there are many such moments, dialogues that border on the profane: a heart-to-heart about men's urinal problems or a tooth found in a gulab jamun, most probably the halwai'."

 

Directed by Ashok Yadav, ‘Kerry on Kutton’ promises to be an edgy coming-of-age film.
