"Bhavesh Joshi Superhero" — written from the lens of a true cinephile, a student of cinema, a lover of Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane’s rebellious storytelling — and above all, someone who believes this film deserves a second life.

Kya tumhe lagta hai ki tum desh badal sakte ho? Main toh koshish kar raha hoon...

– Bhavesh Joshi

In a world overflowing with commercial superhero flicks wrapped in VFX and wisecracks, Bhavesh Joshi Superhero dares to dream something far more raw, rooted, and real. This is not your average superhero film — it’s a socio-political cry, a rebel's journey, and a mirror to urban India’s silent rage.

Directed by Vikramaditya Motwane — a cinematic craftsman who never plays it safe — and produced by the maverick Anurag Kashyap’s Phantom Films, Bhavesh Joshi is a vigilante saga drenched in Mumbai monsoons, moral grey zones, and a gut-wrenching sense of purpose.

⚡ The Plot — A Revolution in a Mask

Set against the corruption-ridden backdrop of Mumbai’s water mafia, the film follows three idealistic friends who run a YouTube channel, exposing small injustices in their city. One of them — Bhavesh Joshi (Priyanshu Painyuli) — takes the cause too seriously, and that seriousness costs him everything. What begins as digital activism turns into a death... and then, rebirth.

Sikandar Kher, playing the villain with chilling normalcy, shows how evil doesn't always wear a cape — sometimes it wears a suit and gives press conferences.

Enter Harshvardhan Kapoor, in a performance that’s slow-burning, sincere, and ultimately shattering. His journey from a passive, privileged bystander to a masked avenger is both metaphor and method. He doesn’t turn into a superhero by chance — he bleeds into one.

🎥 The Craft — Grit, Guts & Gyan

This film is Vikramaditya Motwane at his boldest and most political. He creates a noir-ish Mumbai — where water is power, morality is transactional, and silence is the real villain.

The cinematography (by Siddharth Diwan) is haunting — rains that soak not just the city but also its wounds. The background score is minimal, and that’s its strength. The chase scene in the second half? A masterclass in handheld realism.

The action isn’t Marvel-level CGI; it’s guerrilla, gritty, DIY — and that’s what makes it hurt more. It’s not about saving the world. It’s about saving what’s left of you in a broken world.

🎭 Why It Flopped — And Why That’s On Us

The film released in 2018 — the wrong time. India wasn’t ready for a superhero who fought water scams, potholes, and policy failures. People wanted fantasy; Bhavesh Joshi gave them a hard truth. It underperformed at the box office. It was meme’d, misunderstood, and misplaced.

But cinema has its own afterlife. And today, more and more viewers are waking up to its brilliance — streaming it, quoting it, studying it. It’s India’s "V for Vendetta", hidden in plain sight.

🔁 A Request to Re-release — Because Time Has Caught Up

This is a call to Phantom Films, to Netflix, to every distributor and platform — please re-release Bhavesh Joshi Superhero. Digitally, theatrically, anyhow. Give it another chance. Let it breathe again. Let it speak to the Gen-Zs now marching for causes, to the young blood that no longer wants to stay quiet.

This film deserves a director's cut, a panel discussion, a cultural comeback.

🎤 Final Word — Be Bhavesh Joshi

If you love films that question systems, if you grew up on Anurag Kashyap’s chaos and Motwane’s melancholy, if you still believe in the idea of cinema as revolution, then you owe it to yourself to watch — and spread — Bhavesh Joshi Superhero.

It’s not just a film.

It’s a spark🔥💯
