"Everything will be alright in the end;
If it is not alright, it is not the end":
Dev 'Resilience' Patel

Industry targeted his movie by banning in India, his main target box office

[legoDragonfly-]

It's a brilliant film. The fact its done with limited budget I think makes it better as they scrutinised details. It's brilliant like how.films used to be before they got greedy and OTT with CGI the acting is phenomenal

Honestly you can just feel the raw human effort and the unstoppable will of this whole creative team in the movie at every corner. It has such a unique energy. Just like his character in the film, Dev went to hell and fought his way back for this story, and the result feels so badass and so especially earned. There are many lazy action movies today that let their action hero actor get away without a scratch, or at the opposite, make a big show of how cool the actor is for putting himself in danger. This one does neither, it just rips and doesn't brag about it.

It's India's loss that the movie didn't release in India.

A great actor and I'm sure the movie is gonna be a classic.

Bro has the blessing from Bajarangbali himself.

So this is why the shakey cam was saturated on the 1st half.

Despite its flaws, the story was superb and the final fight was just 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

That is the definition of dedication. I have so much more respect for him and his craft now. So many people would have taken these setbacks as signs to give up, but they were not setbacks for him but fuel to his determination. Will definitely watch the movie with more admiration knowing this now. What a great man!

[saumyaray]

Dev patel and his gujarati indian mindset saved the movie 😂

DSLR’s gonna run out of business if Apple keeps improving their Cameras lol 😂

[manuelmoya]

These are the kind of solutions to production problems that turn these movies into genuine works of art imo

[daviddomingo]

All the trials and tribulations were ABSOLUTELY worth it! Thank God for Dev Patel!!🙏

[mr_blank]

Dev has everything brought down on him at once and he still got this movie out.

It deserves every ounce of praise it’s getting, as does he

[-ix]

Damn everything went wrong 😂 can’t believe they not only pushed through but actually made a good film (I haven’t seen it yet)

[weakorgeek]
