But when a film that poses as “India’s first stoner movie” features more scotch, rum and even chemicals than cannabis, you start questioning the honesty and intention of the film, and you wonder whether calling it a stoner film was just a marketing gimmick. Halfway through Agneya Singh’s M Cream, you realize no one in the film has smoked anything but cigarettes. Forget these issues; the film doesn’t even have a decent “That’s Me” stoner movie moment. Ultimately, M Cream comes off as an amateur, even pretentious effort to showcase an unexplored subculture. The perfectly enjoyable Go Goa Gone is more deserving of the tag of India’s first stoner movie, even though it ended with an anti-drug use message.
