Cast: Amitabh Bachchan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Vidya Balan, Sabyasaachi Chakraborty, Padmavati Rao
Director: Ribhu Dasgupta
VERY GOOD PERFORMENCES OF ALL THREE OUTSTANDING.
It’s edgy, gripping and dark, mostly because of the actors and partly due to the milieu. While Nawazuddin brings a strangeness to the table, Sabyasachi shows how to get noticed without ditching subtility. Amitabh Bachchan is the cohesive force behind this thriller.
The director weaves a web of lies and psychological disorders, but he also attaches motives to his characters. Though his choice of background music surprises at times, he compensates it with pace. His biggest success is the high degree of audience involvement in a 138-minute film.
