Oriol Pauloâs unique and unpredictable thriller streak continues with the mental asylum-set mystery âGodâs Crooked Lines.â At the outset, the film can be described as âShock Corridorâ meets âShutter Island.â It is based on a 1979 novel by Torcuate Luca de Tena.
It focuses on a former actress-turned-politician (Neethu Shetty), an LIC agent (Prathap Kumar), and an anonymous individual (Manju Raj), all in pursuit of a bag of cash in the wake of demonetization in India, a prominent socio-cultural and political event that shook the masses to the core.

Before, the supernatural elements of âThe Crowâ were largely relegated to the vengeance-driven resurrection of Draven himself, but now, because everything always has to be bigger and more elaborate (and, in this case, dumber), writers Zack Baylin (having a banner year between this and the Bob Marley biopic weâve all already forgotten) and William Schneider felt the need to toss in some hilariously shoehorned play at satanism to apparently give Eric some form of real challenge to his newfound immortality.
Indeed, the upstart distributor has already begun mounting an awards campaign for the film, which also stars Nicolette Robinson, Ron Perlman, John Magaro, Anatol Yusef, Steve Buscemi (another Boardwalk Empire alum) and â coming out of retirement to make a brief but shattering appearance â Oscar winner Joe Pesci.
