Kennedy is a 2023 IndianHindi-languageneo-noirthrillerfilm written and directed byAnurag Kashyap.[2] It starsRahul Bhat andSunny Leone in the lead roles.[3][4] The film marks the third collaboration of Kashyap and Bhat afterUgly (2013) andDobaaraa (2022).
Kennedy premiered at the2023 Cannes Film Festival on 25 May.[5][6][7]
Kennedy, aninsomniac ex-police officer who operates secretly for the corrupt system, lives in different conditions and goes on a lookout for salvation.[8][9]
Saibal Chatterjee ofNDTV praised the performances and direction of the film and said that "the movie directed by Anurag Kashyap seldom takes a breath, which might be a little disconcerting at times. However, there is something alluring about a psychopath who vacillates between persistence and madness. Similar to the threat posed by a lethal, unseen illness that might be either biological or systemic, the hitman's brutal ravages. In this movie, the latter is more prevalent. Kennedy is ultimately just as much an Anurag Kashyap movie as it is a Rahul Bhat ride. The on-screen performance and the cinematic work are flawlessly balanced."[10]
