In the day and age where crime thrillers and serial killer mystery movies are being churned out every other weekend by a number of streaming platforms, the average movie enjoyer can go numb by over exposure to such heightened experiences.
Sometimes all we need is a simple laid back movie that we can watch with our nails intact. Netflix’s “Chopstick” is one such movie that went under the radar.
The light hearted movie starring Mithila Palkar and Abhay Deol tells a story about a gifted yet uncertain woman, struggling with self-doubt, finds herself on an unexpected path of growth and self-discovery when she decides to team up with a charismatic, mysterious con man.
Together, they embark on a quest to recover her beloved stolen car, now in the hands of a wildly eccentric and unpredictable thug.
What begins as a simple retrieval soon transforms into a journey that challenges her insecurities and pushes her to embrace her inner strength.
Sachin Yardi’s directorial venture has a very simple approach to visual storytelling and it gets the job done.
It’s one of those movies that make you chuckle and have a decent time. The viewing experience of “Chopstick” ain’t life altering but it surely can alter your mood for the better.
Catch “Chopstick” this sunday, streaming only on Netflix India.
