Story
The very charming Govinda Waghmare juggles his time and love between his wife Mrs. Waghmare and his girlfriend in this dose of chaos, confusion, and laughter.
Plus Points
1) Film holds your attention in the last 30 minutes with many twists. But it can be confusing because of many flashbacks.
2) "Bijali"(Vayu Sachin- Jigar, Mika Singh, Neha Kakkar) song which is choreographed by Ganesh Acharya is well picturized. It resembles Chikni Chameli song from Agneepath though.
3) Production design is good.
Minus points
1)Acting
Vicky Kaushal tried to act but could not deliver. He doesn't have any memorable scene in the entire film. His acting is pretty ordinary and same for Kiara Advani and Bhumi pednekar.
The only actor who stands out is Dayanand Shetty in inspector role. Sayaji Shinde, Renuka Shahane and others have performed mechanically. Ranbir Kapoor is wasted in an insignificant cameo and Ganesh Acharya has a 10 second passing shot.
2) Direction
Director Shashank Khaitan who is the writer too, could not make a good entertaining film. It doesn't give viewers any thrill in the drama. Suspense is written as per the convenience of the director without any logic.
3)Story, Screenplay dialogues
Story is a pure work of fiction. It doesn’t connect emotionally.
Screenplay is confusing, especially in the second half. Film hardly has any funny moments. The thrill is completely missing.
Dialogues falls flat, especially in the comical scenes.
4) Editing
Film is 141 minutes. It doesn’t hold your attention throughout.
Box Office Verdict
Thank God, another film of Vicky Kaushal is on OTT platform otherwise producer Karan Johar would have gone into depression after seeing the first day collection.
Today's hard reality is that Aayushmaan Khuranna, Vicky Kaushal, Rajkumar Rao, Siddharth Malhotra, Abhishek Bachchan, Ritesh Deshmukh and many more are fit only for OTT platforms.
The paying audience is reluctant to buy the tickets and see their films in the theatres. I am sure that even if directors like Steven Spielberg or James Cameroon make films with them, it would be a 100% disaster at the box office.
