Red Monsoon (2014) : distribution, intrigue et streaming

Released in 2014, Red Monsoon is a notable film directed by Eelum Dixit, running about 138 minutes.

What it’s about. It is hard for Karuna to believe that her husband Krishna is seeking gratification in someone else's arms, and when her friend Anushka suggests as much, she resists. Chetana, battling her own feelings of loss, reaches out for Krishna's extended hand. Against the clamorous backdrop of the age-old Machhendranath festival, a thoroughly contemporary drama plays out in the bylanes and courtyards of Patan town. Through the characters, we glimpse a society in transition, where individuals are left to fend for themselves in the anonymity of the city. The film is steeped with the angst of uncertainty created by an economy in the doldrums, with the anger of youth, and with the befuddlement of elders, as protagonists try to adjust to new realities, some with a care for ethics and some without. This is where Krishna finds himself at the end, as Chetana and Karuna decide for themselves. The air is pregnant with possibilities, but the rains do not arrive in Red Monsoon.

Who’s in it. Red Monsoon stars Sandip Chhetri as Krishna, Himali Dixit as Chetana, Shristi Ghimire as Karuna and Buddhi Tamang.

How it landed. With an audience score of 6.5/10, Red Monsoon has drawn a solid, mixed-to-positive response.
