Hansal Mehta applauds Radhikka Madan in Subedaar, says she deserves better roles

Published by Webster

Filmmaker Hansal Mehta has showered praise on Suresh Triveni’s newly released action drama Subedaar, calling it a bold and refreshing take on the classic mass entertainer. The film features Anil Kapoor in the lead, alongside Radhika Madan as Shyama, Aditya Rawal as Prince, Mona Singh as Babli Didi, with Faisal Malik and Saurabh Shukla in pivotal roles. Hansal Mehta praises Subedaar Sharing his thoughts after watching the film, Hansal Mehta noted that Triveni revisits the spirit of classic Hindi cinema while giving it a contemporary voice. He said the filmmaker taps into the raw rage and emotional intensity that once defined the ‘angry young man’ era, evoking shades of films like Zanjeer and Deewar.  What impressed him was that such a film comes from Triveni, a director known for tonally different works like Tumhari Sulu and Jalsa. He called it an unexpected but welcome departure from the director’s usual storytelling space. The filmmaker also appreciated Triveni for stepping outside his comfort zone. According to Mehta, the director pays homage to the unapologetic 80s style of …

Anurag Kashyap hails Anil Kapoor’s Subedaar On Saturday, Anurag took to Instagram and shared a still of Anil Kapoor from the film. He reviewed the movie and wrote, “SUBEDAAR on @primevideoin should have been a theatrical. Would have loved to experience it in cinemas; it’s clearly shot on anamorphic for the big screen, designed for the big screen. @sureshtriveni_ creates an immersive world of Bundelkhand/Chambal, complete with its patriarchy and entitlement. Where women are as patriarchal as men and those who aren’t, they fight like a man in these male-dominated hinterlands of the beehad that once gave rise to Phoolan Devi.” He added, “The world has not changed …

Subedaar: Anil Kapoor embodies a war-weary hero, betrayed by the very country he bled for | Bollywood News

5 min readMumbaiMar 6, 2026 07:00 PM IST Just a few minutes into Subedaar, Suresh Triveni’s desi Western, the shape of the story begins to reveal itself with a familiar inevitability. You can sense the path before the film even fully settles into its stride. At the centre of it all, is a retired soldier, Arjun (Anil Kapoor) who returns from a lifetime of service only to discover that peace is harder to come by than war. Retirement deposits him in a village where every moral hinge has come loose. Nothing works as it should; everything that can go wrong already has. In such a landscape, confrontation is less a question of if than when. It’s only a matter of time before Arjun’s grief of losing his wife hardens into rage. It’s only a matter of time before Arjun turns that rage towards the young local tyrant. And it’s only a matter of time before Arjun becomes the hero his close friend believes him to be. But the tragedy is that he appears exhausted by …

Subedaar review: Massy premise doesn’t fully detonate in this actioner, but a terrific Anil Kapoor saves the show

Subedaar review: Massy premise doesn’t fully detonate in this actioner, but a terrific Anil Kapoor saves the show

Subedaar Director: Suresh Triveni Cast: Anil Kapoor, Aditya Rawal, Radhika Madaan, Mona Singh Rating: ★★★.5 It has been fascinating to watch how our viewing habits have evolved. From the days of appointment viewing, we moved to the play pause culture of OTT. Today, content seems to sort itself rather neatly into two kinds: films that demand to be experienced on the big screen, and those you are perfectly content to wait for until they arrive on streaming. Subedaar review: Anil Kapoor is the heartbeat of this massy actioner. Subedaar, oddly enough, feels like both. 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 …

Why Anil Kapoor Rejected His Family’s Legacy to Become the Action Star of Subedaar

Why Anil Kapoor Rejected His Family’s Legacy to Become the Action Star of Subedaar

Published by Parlour News

Anil Kapoor has tightened his knuckles and loaded his rifle yet again. His new film, Suresh Triveni’s Subedaar, is all set to premiere on Prime Video India this Thursday on March 5. It’s a hark back to the seminal action films Anil did back in the 1980s, all the way till S Shankar’s Bollywood directorial debut Nayak: A Real Hero in 2001. “When I started my career I felt the biggest disadvantage for me was my surname Kapoor’. I decided that I will do what no other Kapoor is doing. I decided I will not do ‘Kapooriyat’,” Anil said at the International Film Festival of India back in 2019. His father, Surinder Kapoor, a production controller, was a distant cousin of film and theatre stalwart Prithviraj Kapoor. His distant cousins Raj Kapoor, Shammi Kapoor, and Shashi Kapoor had already become top stars by the time Anil stepped foot into the film industry in the late 1970s. So, the choice was clear: either follow in their footsteps or carve his own identity. He didn’t have the …

His professionalism and dedication is unmatched, which everyone in the industry knows.” Recalling an experience during an action sequence with Anil Kapoor, when he was hesitant to perform a move in front of the Bollywood titan, Aditya shared, “There was an action scene, and I have to kind of like raise my hand (on him) and I was a bit hesitant because it is Anil Kapoor in front of me. Sir sensed my hesitation and simply put his arm around me and said, `Tu tension mat le zara bhi tu kar jo tujhe sahi lagta hai…hum ek baar karenge sahi se karenge ekdam`…That liberated me …
