Story
The line between love and obsession blurs in this romantic-thriller packed film with unpredictable twists and turns.
Plus Points
1)Kartik Aaryan has done full justice to his role. It’s a big surprise to see him in such a different character. However, his die hard fans would be disappointed to see him doing such a role. Heroine Alaya F is quite good.
2) Film production design is decent in terms of photography, locations, background score, etc.
Minus Points
1)Direction
Director (Shashanka Ghosh) has done an average job. Why had he chosen the film on Parsi background? In today's time, film rarely work based on Parsi community. Due to poor story and loose screenplay, he failed to deliver a good thriller.
2)Story Screenplay and Dialogues
Story does not have any novelty. Screenplay has many loose holes.
When you make a crime thriller, it has to be full proof! It’s hard to justify the behavior change of of the doctor (Kartik Aaryan) into a criminal. Why does the doctor behave abnormally throughout and suddenly becomes normal?
How come a doctor who looks duffer can be so smart and cunning to remove all the evidence of the crime? In fact, Kartik Aaryan should have been shown as a criminal lawyer instead of doctor.
Police department has been portrayed poorly. How come the police department is sleeping over a serious road accident which results into the death of a top business man (a murder).
Kartik Aaryan has been shown as the top dentist of the city. But still, his clinic is empty most of the times. Film lacks the thrill/ suspense.
Dialogue are functional and not hard hitting.
Film is devoid of any entertainment, romance, sentiments and hit music (though one song appears after the film is over which also seems forced ).
3)Editing
Film has a very slow pace despite of its just 2 hours duration.
Box Office Verdict:
Film has been released on Disney + Hotstar. It kind of deserved to be on OTT for free viewing. Had it been released in the theatres, it might have been a disaster struggling to do decent collections.
