Dinesh Sundaram

Zebra (2024) is a wild ride of a movie that dives headfirst into the chaos of ambition, greed, and the thin line between survival and betrayal. Dinesh Sundaram drops you right in the middle of a high-stakes world where nothing is really black or white, despite the title. The story orbits around a motley crew of characters, each one more desperate than the next, all tangled up in a scheme that just keeps spiraling further out of control. At the heart of it, you’ve got a protagonist who’s clawing his way up from the bottom, trying to outsmart everyone else in the game. He’s not your typical hero—he’s flawed, a bit rough around the edges, but you can’t help rooting for him as he gets sucked deeper into this tangled mess. There’s money on the line, sure, but also reputations, friendships, and maybe even a shot at redemption if he can keep his head above water. Betrayals pop up left and right, trust goes out the window, and every time you think you’ve figured out what’s going on, the movie yanks the rug out from under you. The pacing’s relentless, with twists that don’t feel cheap but genuinely mess with your expectations. It’s not just about the hustle, but about what people are willing to sacrifice when the stakes get impossibly high. Sundaram’s direction keeps everything tense, gritty, and just a little bit unhinged. The ending? Let’s just say it’s not tied up in a neat bow—more like a punch to the gut that’ll stick with you.
