Filmmaker Hansal Mehta has praised Suresh Triveni’s newly released action drama Subedaar, calling it a bold and refreshing take on the classic mass entertainer.
The film stars Anil Kapoor in the lead, alongside Radhika Madan as Shyama, Aditya Rawal as Prince, and Mona Singh as Babli Didi. Faisal Malik and Saurabh Shukla also appear in pivotal roles.
Sharing his thoughts after watching the film, Mehta noted that Triveni revisits the spirit of classic Hindi cinema while giving it a contemporary voice. According to him, the filmmaker taps into the raw rage and emotional intensity that once defined the ‘angry young man’ era, evoking shades of iconic films like Zanjeer and Deewar.
What particularly impressed Mehta was that such a film comes from Triveni, a director known for tonally different works like Tumhari Sulu and Jalsa. He described it as an unexpected but welcome departure from the filmmaker’s usual storytelling space.
Mehta also appreciated Triveni for stepping outside his comfort zone. According to him, the director pays homage to the unapologetic style of 80s filmmaking in his own unique way — combining smart writing with strong performances.
Along with Anil Kapoor, Mehta had special praise for Radhika Madan’s performance in the film. Highlighting her portrayal, he shared, “Radhika Madan deserves better than what our cinema has given her so far, better parts, better films, more opportunities. As the feisty but internally wounded daughter, she does not shy away from ugliness in service of her character. That is courage. That is craft.”
With powerful performances and a director willing to experiment beyond his comfort zone, Subedaar is already sparking conversations among cinema lovers.
