Cyanide

About This Movie

So, 'Cyanide' is a pretty intense watch. The film dives into this gritty underbelly of Bangalore, right during a chaotic time following the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi. It’s not just about the crime; it’s this palpable tension that grabs you from the start. You’ve got this couple caught in a terrifying situation, feeling utterly helpless. The pacing feels deliberate, building suspense as you see their desperation unfold. What stands out, though, is the raw performances—there’s a kind of authenticity in their portrayals that really anchors the film. The practical effects aren't overdone, which adds a layer of realism that’s often missing in thrillers today. It's the kind of film that lingers, making you think about the darker sides of society.
