Maddock films have been massive successes in the past 4-5 years. There’s this thing i have noticed about them which is why i think they always stand out and are able to resonate with the audience. They never explore conventional relationships. Rather their each movie is about an unconventional relationship. And around that unconventional relationship they weave so many subplots.
Badlapur - Relationship of a bereaved husband and a prisoner.
Stree - Relationship of a man who is blessed with supernatural abilities and a ghost.
Shiddat - Relationship of a man who tries to cross international borders illegally with an embassy officer.
Mimi - Relationship of a surrogate with the child she bore.
Teri baton mein - Relationship of a man and a robot.
Chor nikal ke bhaga - Relationship of a victim who becomes a criminal and the one who wronged her.
Bhediya - Relationship of a man with an alternate avatar he adorns
Dasvi - Relationship of a man with his jailer/jail inmates.
