Invisible Demons

Review preview for Invisible Demons

Invincible Demons is a film that understands the aesthetic appeal of environmental abuse, but it doesn’t titillate with images of eco-collapse or sensationalise interviews with long-suffering Delhi citizens.

Sunil Chauhan · 4 out of 5
In the sprawling mega city of Delhi where the dangers of climate change are present not future, the film shows a world on the brink.
