Lakeer

About This Movie

Lakeer is one of those films that blends action with a complex web of family dynamics. The narrative revolves around Suraj Rana, a gangster who adopts a street urchin named Arjun, imparting the criminal trade to him while also raising his biological son, Karan. The atmosphere is gritty, almost melancholic at times, with the familial ties creating a tension that drives the story. The pacing has its moments of sharp intensity, particularly in the action sequences, but also allows for reflective pauses on the nature of loyalty and betrayal. Performances are pretty solid, especially in how Arjun and Karan’s relationship develops against the backdrop of their father’s underworld. There's a certain rawness to the practical effects that adds to the film’s visceral appeal, making it an interesting watch in this genre.
