Love, Hammers and Mumbai Noir: Anurag Kashyap's 'Raman Raghav 2.0'

In Anurag Kashyap's latest film – his third to screen at the Cannes Directors' Fortnight – the real-life story of a 1960s serial killer is transposed onto the present-day tale of a man who becomes obsessed with a cop. Colliding the thriller genre with romantic tropes and dark humour, Raman Raghav 2.0 exemplifies this famed Indian director's command of the cinematic medium, writes Lidia Ostepeev.
