Extreme Acts

In Mumbai cinema, nothing succeeds like excess. After attaining national fame for being ordered by co-star Ranbir Kapoor to lick his boots, all in the name of art, in Animal in 2023, Triptii Dimri is being ordered to take off her clothes by Shahid Kapoor in the trailer of Vishal Bhardwaj’s ‘O’Romeo’. This movie is a thinly disguised biopic of underworld assassin Hussain Ustara (Shahid) and his mentorship of Sapna Didi (Dimri) who wanted revenge on Dawood Ibrahim for killing her husband. There is much blood, much abuse, and one presumes, a great deal of Dimri.
