Cult Synopsis,Mahava, a.k.a. Maddy, has a set routine in life: smoke, drink, and pass out. No prizes for guessing that he is a “victim” of a love failure. This romanticisation of the “brooding, broken-hearted” men is one of the major problems of Anil Kumar’s Cult, which is so cliched that it gets dreadful by the minute.Maddy’s girlfriend, Geetha (Maliaka Vasupal), ditches him for a “better lifestyle” after she moves to Bengaluru from a village for higher studies. According to the director, a better lifestyle is a happening nightlife and a boyfriend who splurges money. If that isn’t an insult to several women who move to Bengaluru from small towns with big dreams, the movie vilifies women as gold diggers.
