The Gutter’s own Beth writes about the 1970s masala movie, Shamshera, at Beth Loves Bollywood! “For all the complaints that Shamshera is old-fashioned…well yes, it is, gloriously so, beautifully executing a known formula with a weariness and bitterness that are perfectly suited to right now. As I watched, I kept thinking ‘freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose,’ and as much as that’s the attitude Shamshera the individual takes, it’s really true for the battered Khameran community he belongs to.”
