When a director gives tribute to Alfred Hitchcock in opening credits you know your in for a good ride and this movie lives up to it's name as well.
It has a good very dark plot and an engaging screenplay that keeps you hooked to the screen, what surprised me is the emotional weight the characters had by the end of the movie, though some of the acting is questionable, most of the characters have a good arc which shows the Director has put his heart in it. I would highly recommend this movie if your a person who's comfortable with dark and twisted movies.
Though this one is excellent it falls short in few major areas and that's what stops it from getting a perfect score.
My rating - 3.5/5
[Spoilers Ahead] Here are some of the major goof ups and plot holes I found when watching this move, If you don't want spoilers or not a person who goes in-dept into the movies, stop reading now.
Anyways here are a few plot holes :
1) Dagini intimidating Anguli on the death bed that Gautam will save her that too in 1 week time. This I feel is a bit out of place considering it's established that Dagini considers Gautam as nothing more than a stalker as it's shown in earlier scenes though Director manages to show us audience Gautam really loves her, but Dagini as a character doesn't know this, Yes he might have cracked her code from per air show but is that one single act makes her fall so hard for him ? Bit out of place. Also why 1 week time is important ? Yes it's her birthday and she was meant to invite him but still making an assumption like this feels too rushed.
2) Anguli's inheritance. Anguli is shown to be an orphan and spent his early years in Juvenile detention camps, So then how did he end up being the proprietor of an enterprise and a farm ? Looks bizarre at this sudden riches. Only explanation I can think of is, he has murdered the previous owners (One whom the old man shows in the photo frame when visiting the shanthi farm) and took over from them.
3) How did Gautam know of the Car's brand ? When Anguli confronts Gautam in the midnight.. The only other person to have seen this is Raja who ends up getting killed before he can convey this message to anyone. Gautam just knows the height of the car and using the sound he could have deduced it's a Sedan but how did they narrow down it to BMW ?
4) When did Raja put his finger in the torch ? In Raja's death scene it's clearly shown anguli is right next to him and slits his throat so when did he get a chance to cut his small finger and stuff in the torch ? Also Raja didn't have any weapon on him so how he managed to have a clean cut of finger ? What weapon he used there ?
5) In car showroom, The sales person remembers exactly who the customer is ? I feel this is rushed. I mean salesperson's usually meet a lot of people and even if they had sold a high model car to a customer It's very rare that they are able to recall very well. Also Anguli keeps the fact about his right hand a secret and hardly shares it even with someone in his inner circle then why did he show it a salesperson.
All minor plot holes but still for a person who observes movies closely.. Its annoying a little.
Goof ups I found :
1) Psychiatrist persuading Gautam to find Dagini.. Feels rushed.
2) Raja's death is the most dumbest one I have seen in such brilliant movie. Raja comes looking for a killer in tall dark grass land and he turns his back and walks away without being cautious ? Come on this is out right dumb.
