Fan Calls It Birdman Style Drama
The "Current" #AnuragKashyap's film, #Choked, is a Birdman style drama about the "once-had choking experience" of people under the governance. Though I felt like the movie was good, part of me prefer his non-opinionistic films. Apart from it, I had fun. #RoshanMathew 👌🏼

Pay Attention To Music, Says This Fan
Best thing about @anuragkashyap72's #Choked is a killer score by Karsh Kale especially drum sequences. Maza aagaya. Also do listen to the end credit song carefully. It's really nicely done.

Just finished watching #Choked. What extraordinarily stood out was the background score, music, songs, and the lyrics.
Here are the screengrabs to appreciate the effort. Especially, watch out for the end-credit song. @anuragkashyap72 @NUCLEYA @Benny_Dayal pic.twitter.com/dJoF5h1A98

Artists Appreciated
@anuragkashyap72 's #Choked is such a fun watch; sarcastic, layered, funny, and filled with irony. @SaiyamiKher and @roshanmathew22 put on a great act.

Music > Plot
#Choked has some really interesting stretches but somehow feels dry on the whole. But I loved the Jazzy musical treatment that Anurag Kashyap has given to the film.

This Fan Calls It Brilliant and Yes Music Too!
#ChokedPaisaBoltaHai is a brilliantly directed film. Nothing like @anuragkashyap72 has directed before. Portrayal of characters by the cast is effortless and @karshkalemusic 's music is the biggest compliment for the film. #Choked @NetflixIndia

It is evident that music director, Karsh Kale is receiving heaps of praises for his music. Meanwhile, actor Vicky Kaushal is totally impressed with the movie. He especially mentioned Amruta's acting skills in his reaction to the film. IANS quoted him saying, "The best thing about Amruta Subhash (who is part of the film's cast) is I couldn't predict what she is going to throw at me -- her reaction to demonetisation was outstanding. I don't think any other kind of reaction would have led to that feeling of ‘sadma'." He even was surprised to find a happy ending in an Anurag Kashyap film. As now you have ample of reactions on Choked, why don't you give it a shot?
