Kolkata R King

Directed by Judhajit Sarkar, it is a dark satire on the city’s notorious underbelly of crime and the nexuses which exist between a cross-section of powerful people from police to politicians to persons of prominence in educational institutions. Shot in 2015, mainly in the dingy alleys of the city’s slums, in red light areas and in old, abandoned houses, according to the makers of the movie, it got stuck at the distribution stage because of lack of funds.
