Once upon a time in India - The Warrior review by HW

Spoiler Alert
13/03/2025

As a western fan, I always like seeing western plot lines and conventions placed in other settings. This story of a warrior seeking redemption on a long journey could easily be transported to the Wild West. The setting and style of the film also reminds me of Sergio Leone’s spaghetti westerns, with plenty of quiet, suspenseful desert scenes (where characters stare rather than speak) and a steady pace punctuated by sudden violence. But instead of the Wild West, we get the unique setting of ancient India, beautifully and convincingly recreated. A truly original, poignant and remarkable film.
