Monkey Bastard!

About This Movie

So, "Monkey Bastard!" is one of those films that oozes a certain rawness, you know? It’s got this darkly ironic vibe, really pulls you into the twisted romance of Gulshan and Manisha. Their love is anything but straightforward, overshadowed by Manisha's husband, Nana, who's a total piece of work. The pacing feels almost dreamlike at times, teetering between melodrama and absurdity. The performances are gritty, and there's a tangible tension that makes it distinctive – like you're witnessing something both beautiful and tragic unfold. Not your typical love story, that's for sure.

This film is quite a rarity on home video, with most collectors noting its absence from mainstream distribution. The few existing copies are often bootlegs or from obscure sources, which adds to its allure. There's a small but dedicated interest among genre enthusiasts who appreciate its unconventional take on love and relationships, as well as its unique atmosphere that stands out from the typical melodramas of its time.
