The film inspired me with my own shot taking. The way the director chooses to take his shots is really something. The performance of the lead actor Deepak Sampat is Mindblowing. You can't believe that he's an actor. When the film wishes to disturb it does it so well. The locations are also lovely. Real. Effective. And the murder scene is directed beautifully. One of my favourite indies from our country.
Autohead is a fine movie when we look at it in a experimental cinema point of view, but the problem with the movie is when director Rohit Mittal projects the film as a "reality tv" sequence with some rather confusing scenes & dialogues in between. It is absurd on the directors part to sell this feature as reality tv. I consider "Autohead" purely as an experimental parallel cinema with the director too playing a character in the cinema "who believes he is shooting a reality tv".
Cinematography & sound is as good as any parallel cinema around. Screenplay laced with profanity, vulgarity & violence rules the roost. Acting and dialogues by non regular actors adds to the film's authenticity. I wish the director was more clear in his work to present this film through the story. On the other hand I also strongly believe that the director deliberately adds the confusion and he too is just a part of the story. If that's the case hats off to you sir.
Overall, a confusing and a bizarre fest made strictly for parallel cinema audiences. If one views "Autohead" as a pure experimental cinema, it's a decent one time watch for its sound recording and the plight of migrant labourers in our Metros. The regular lengthy scenes without cuts are a threat to every movie lover.

It starts off weird and wrong, but they try to keep the rules of faux documentaries. So the fact someone is in the car filming becomes a side note. But it's important, especially when stuff happens and the people keep filming instead of reacting and doing something about it. Not to mention character moments that will make you cringe very audible while you shake your head in disbelief.
The whole thing feels more fake than a reality TV show. And while there was a time when people actually thought Reality TV was real, that time has past. And the "characters" do tend to act in strange ways. You just don't do those things and it gets annoying to watch. While the sentiment is clear and I do applaud people trying stuff out, overall the result is not satisfying
