Four completely different but amazing short stories of Satyajit Ray adapted in a modern and different manner. Some of them were extremely good some didn't complete with the expectations. For me 2nd part starting Kay Kay Menon and 3rd part starting Manoj Bajpayee were the best though though the 1st part starring Ali Fazal was also really good, the 4th part starring Harshvardhan Kapoor didn't live up to my expectations. Overall really great but different and controversial adaptations of Ray's works but enjoyable.

 Boyka : Undisputed IV (2016). Just revisited one of the most complete action movies of recent times. And in my opinion Scott Adkins in one of the very few complete action heroes of today.
