Shooting a POV (point of view, “Cloverfield” is a distinct sample) film is definitely not an easy task, and the minds behind “Rakkhosh” also had to deal with the lack of precedent in Indian cinema, since this is the first complete POV movie the country has ever produced. The film has already enjoyed some success in the Indian festival circuit, winning the “Special Jury Award for Best Director in Hindi Film” at the Rajasthan International Film Festival. Let us take things from the beginning though.Rakkhosh 2019 Movie Download.
The protagonist of the film is Birsa, whose eyes are the point of view of the film. He is a mental patient, whose only friend is a mysterious old man named Kumar John, with both of them staying in an asylum that houses more than 2000 of them, while employing just 40 workers. Furthermore, it seems that something strange has been happening in the place, since patients frequently disappear, in a series of events that involve a mysterious entity that everyone seems to be afraid of, and is called Rakkhosh (demon).
As the movie progresses and Kumar John’s supposedly daughter, Ridhima, a NGO girl, begins investigating the events, Birsa’s past comes to the fore through some flashbacks that also seem to meddle with the reality of the protagonist, as a number of secrets come to the fore.Of course, the main element of the film is the POV part, which, in essence, guides the whole narrative. Basile Pierrat used a Red Dragon 6K and had to create a custom rig for it, but the result is a definite testament to the quality of his work, with the POV part fitting the disorientation that dominates the narrative quite well.
