Anurag Kashyap’s latest film Nishaanchi is all set to stream on Prime Video from October 31. The movie was first released in theatres in September and received good reviews for its story and performances.
Nishaanchi is a crime drama set in small-town Uttar Pradesh. It follows twin brothers Babloo and Dabloo Nishaanchi, both played by debut actor Aaishvary Thackeray. Their lives take very different turns as they get caught in a world of crime, rivalry and betrayal. The film also stars Vedika Pinto, Monika Panwar, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub and Kumud Mishra.
Anurag Kashyap has called this “the most filmy film of my life.” Unlike his darker and more experimental movies, this one mixes action, emotion and family drama in a more mainstream style.
The film is produced by Jar Pictures and Flip Films, with support from Amazon MGM Studios India. Kashyap wrote the story in 2016 but waited several years to make it the way he wanted.
With its release on Prime Video, Nishaanchi will now reach a much larger audience. It’s a mix of old-school storytelling and Kashyap’s trademark edge, promising a film that’s both entertaining and full of heart.
