Kunal Mahajan

Finally a film worthy of The Academy Awards. This film tackles an otherwise sensitive and serious topic in a humorous way. The best thing about this film is that is devoid of any dramaticism. No loud background scores, heavy dialogues or redundant pieces. It sticks to its premise and just shows what it wants to. Having said that, the cinematography and photography does deserve appreciation.

Most people won't realize that the second half of the film was fictional. In reality, the truth (if we go by the film's version) wasn't exposed. The Judicial System of India still maintains that Dhananjay Chatterjee was convicted. As for the film it is work of quality from Arindam Sil with praiseworthy performances by all the actors. The film brings back memories of Talvar, another standout film.

This film is way too loud and dramatic for its own good. There isn't a single moment where the narrative is gripping. A lot of unnecessary lines take away from the character's impact. And the background score becomes jarring at the end. Also why are there colourful party lights in an underground terrorist setup?
