Movie review and summary of the movie :
The movie is based on a novel written by Manu Joseph. The film covers the story of a boy named Ayyan. He was a Dalit and personal assistant of a brahmin scientist.
Being a Dalit he was kept names such as Moron, Imbecile, He then chooses to route his anger at the world by conning it. His ten- year old kid is, in fact, a genius. He pleads everyone to gain social mobility.
This film is kind of similar to Sudhir Mishra’s old film Jaane Bhi Do Na yaar which was released in 1983. The two protagonists of that film were naive do-gooders with modest ambitions.
These four decades have made Sudhir’s thinking different towards the common man. From then on, the common man became angrier and more optimistic.
Ayyan is like a coin, a two-sided person. On the first side, his Fury is justified he has been systematically oppressed by a nation that would prefer he remains at his socio-economic station.
On the other side, he is hard to like. Ayyan lives in a crawl, but Mumbai is known as the city of dreams. He is metaphorically trapped in the prison of this great Mumbai. The towering high rises of the city creates the movie a jailbreak movie.
