Chitkabrey—Shades Of Grey

Cast: Ravi Kissen,Rahul Singh

Indian Express rating:1/2

Okay,I wasn’t sure I could share this film with anyone else,such a scabrous experience the watching of it was. Then I thought,what the heck,why should I be selfish and keep it all to myself?

An impressionable young student (Kissen) is the victim of vicious ragging,at the hands of a bunch which has no idea when enough is enough. This fellow,who looks much older than a first year student should,turns up years later as a mysterious tormentor,by locking up the same group,now older but not wiser,with armed guards who look like waiters in fancy dress (one of them looks suspiciously like Pitobash Tripathi),and berating them turn by turn,in order to show them the error of their ways.

But no one warned us about the error of having wandered into ‘Chitkabrey’,a film which could comfortably have swum the swampy waters of softporn. The women all wear very little in the upper regions. They are made to place such elongated objects like pens in their mouths. One of them,an accented blonde,shows us her bare back,and front,while getting massaged. She doesn’t stop at this. After a bit,she reaches out for her masseur,and invites her husband who is lolling on the bed : why don’t you join us,darling? A Bollywood threesome? Now I’ve seen everything.

It’s not just the women who are underdressed. Leading man Ravi Kissen leads the way by standing on a bench. In the buff. I could go on,but I will desist. Some things are better left untold.
