Pune 52 - The Desi Film Noir?

  • 0
May be its my love for it which makes me look every frame with the lens of Film Noir. I had a chance to look at the trailer and poster of "Pune 52", a Marathi film. At the first look, i felt that it was bold and the poster reminded me of the works of one of my favorite director Jean-Pierre Melville.

The poster was resembling the shot from one of Melville's film  "Le Doulos".

Jean-Pierre Melville's "Le Doulos" - 1962.
The Film Noir genre is not something new, nor experimental, nor just a temporary fascination for Indian Cinema. There are many Indian films which can safely be placed in this genre, especially a bunch of Telugu films between 1950-1965 period. I hope to start the my pending post on Telugu Noir soon. Below are the poster and trailer of "Pune 52".
