Anurag Kashyap’s ‘Nishaanchi’ Opens in Theatres to Divided Early Reviews

The debut-led gangster drama draws praise for performances despite a near–three-hour cut.

Overview

  • Released nationwide on September 19 after advance bookings and a Mumbai screening the day prior.
  • Critics highlight Aaishvary Thackeray’s twin-role debut and Monika Panwar’s turn, while noting uneven pacing and length.
  • Multiple reviews say the film ends with an “End of part 1” slate, signaling a planned continuation.
  • CBFC clearance reportedly required language modifications in 12 instances, with a U/A certificate and a runtime of about 2 hours 56 minutes.
  • The launch arrives alongside Jolly LLB 3, capping a decade-long journey that Kashyap says was finally greenlit by Amazon MGM Studios India after an in-flight pitch.
