In The Last Smile, writer-director Shankey Srinivasan, demonstrates that he has the material and the skills to make the movie a thriller in the style of neo-noir detective films. But he wants more. He wants to convey not only an important message(risks with unregulated health supplement industry) - but wants to give the story a transcendental dimension. He succeeds in doing so by adding beautiful poetry in Hindi and surrealistic montage to his movie. It sounds like a strange marriage. A Neo-noir thriller and Hindi poetry? But it works. Where different cultures meet, unique things are born. This movie is one such example, born from the marriage of East and West. Well made indie film.
