Sobhita Dhulipala, known for her mature and in-depth acting performances, has made a name for herself in Bollywood and South Indian cinema. However, one of her strongest performances, according to IMDb, was in the 2024 Hollywood action thriller 'Monkey Man', which unfortunately remains unreleased in India. Directed by Dev Patel, the R-rated movie features him as a young man on a mission of revenge against corrupt officials responsible for his mother's murder.
In 'Monkey Man', Sobhita Dhulipala plays the complex and layered character of Sita, a call girl who caters to powerful and morally questionable men. Her role added immense depth to the narrative and helped Patel's character in his quest for vengeance. Despite winning immense praise after its release in the US, the movie was embroiled in a censor battle with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) in India. The censor board reportedly asked for cuts and changes, which the makers did not agree to, resulting in the movie not being released in India.
'Monkey Man' marked Dhulipala's debut in Hollywood, as well as Dev Patel's first experience in directing a movie. The movie has received an impressive 89% Rotten Tomatoes score and a 6.8 grade on IMDb. Unfortunately, it is not available to stream in India, but it can be streamed in the US and several other countries.
Sobhita Dhulipala's performance in 'Monkey Man' is a testament to her talent and versatility as an actress. While Indian audiences may not be able to watch the movie due to censorship issues, her fans can't wait to see what's next for this talented actress.
