Suresh Triveni’s action thriller Subedaar is getting rave reviews from across the film industry, particularly for the towering central performance of Anil Kapoor. The admirers now include superstar Shah Rukh Khan and filmmaker Anurag Kashyap. While the former heaped praises on the film and its ensemble star cast, Kashyap wished the film would’ve been a theatrical release instead of dropping directly on Amazon Prime Video.

For the first hour, it convinces you this is a film that could have exploded in theatres. But by the time it winds down, you are left with the nagging feeling that it might actually belong to the second category, and not for the right reasons. The premise Directed by Suresh Triveni, Subedaar unfolds in the hinterlands. A retired Army officer, Arjun Maurya (Anil Kapoor), finds himself appointed as a security officer to the local goon Prince (Aditya Rawal), a man …
