		You are treated like an untouchable,” says Kashyap, his voice low, and the excitement of a release replaced by the numbing fatigue of managing a legal tangle.
		For Kashyap and his bunch of talented actors and technicians, what’s at stake is not just a few crore rupees, but their creative careers and the hard work they put in to give a crime reporter’s book a touch of realism.
		But unlike Kashyap, his mentor Varma was smart enough to base his films on real life, while taking adequate liberties to hinge the plot between fact and fiction.

		Writer-director Anurag Kashyap’s Black Friday is a sobering, precise portrayal of the bombings — including the preparation that preceded the events, and the investigations that followed — and a film that functions as a contemporary Indian equivalent to The Battle of Algiers.
		Kashyap has constructed an ambitious socio-political docudrama epic that examines the machinations and aftermath of terrorism, yet avoids imposing easy moral judgments on any involved parties.
		Several riveting characters emerge from this drama: Tiger Memon, the primary figure behind the bombings; Rakesh Maria, the central investigating officer; and Badshah Khan, the conspirator-turned-police informant.
