KV Prasad

KV Prasad, man, this dude’s name is buzzing lately because of “Jathara” (2024) and “Guns Trance Action” (2023). He’s not one of those directors who blend into the wallpaper, you know? There’s this wild edge to his work. “Jathara” isn’t just a movie; it’s like he dumped a whole festival onto the screen, colors and chaos everywhere, all these raw emotions and a story that just kind of eats you up and spits you out. Prasad has this knack for digging into the messiness of people—no sugarcoating, no neat little bows at the end. His characters are full of contradictions, and half the time you’re not sure if you love them or wanna throw something at them. And then “Guns Trance Action”—yeah, the title alone screams late-night adrenaline. Prasad doesn’t do action by halves. It’s gritty, it’s loud, and he somehow pulls off this balance between bonkers shootouts and those quieter, almost trippy moments where you’re like, wait, am I watching the same movie? It’s not just gunfire and car chases, though. There’s this undercurrent, some commentary about the world being totally upside down. You can tell the guy’s got stories to tell and he’s not interested in playing it safe. He’s one of those filmmakers you watch out for, because who knows what he’s gonna do next?
