Ashwath S Yes the Plutarch thought experiment is alluded, also features a Platonic allegory in the climax, Hinglish in the censor certificate, but everything from Arabic to Swedish is featured, I wont attempt to define the film or express what I've seen so soon after watching it. Takes time. Instead here's the makers' tagline. The film explores "questions of identity, justice, beauty, meaning and death through the stories of an experimental photographer, an ailing monk and an enterprising stockbroker", played by Aida El-Kashef, Neeraj Kabi and Sohum Shah. I could link it to an underrated and misunderstood Will Smith film but that would be a spoiler here. Suffices to say its beautifully shot, lensed and cut with meditative music. Lingering shots to frenzied tracking all feature, metaphysics is subtly embedded in the story, the screenplay is organic...you know what, I'll stop. You've to watch it to understand. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/28/22 Full Review Audience Member An anthology about three very different people, in the city of Bombay. This is not what the movie was supposed to be. The creators wanted a connecting theme but these stories were not connected. The end scene was a very hard attempt at connecting these, but that only made the whole story feel incomplete. The first vignette is about a very rude, ungrateful woman who lost her eyesight and still struggles with Photography, only to totally change and become even more ungrateful after the operation. The second vignette then suddenly takes a very spiritual turn. The young lawyer's character was forced, as even though he was captivating his comments did not create the difference. The third vignette runs around the malpractices in the lower strata of society, and for some reason includes a scene in Stockholm. A lot of money could have been saved there and spent elsewhere to make the film better. All that said, as individual vignettes these were all fine subjectively and hence my star rating.

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Visually fine and performing, the delightful film 'Ship of Theseus' is not only an easy triumph of Aanand Gandhi, it is also a touching triumph of vision. This is easily the kind of film where you submit to the vision and the visuals. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review nefasto r A film that will make you think.
