One of the best aspects of the film is director Maqbool Khan's interest in oscillating timelines, where he either shifts the audience's attention between 10-year gaps or shorter intervals of 35-minutes. Moreover, he has presented the film in a simple yet interesting manner, trying hard to ensure the viewer doesn't lose interest. Among the other best aspects of the film is the casting. The not-so-new, but yet-to-unleash, Ishaan Khatter shines through the film as Blackie. He is seamless as a taxi driver, and being a Mumbaikar, the accent and attitude required for the role come naturally. He strives and succeeds to impress from the first frame and wins your attention in the due course, by taking charge of the screen. There is no doubt that Ananya is a good actor and she has the skill to get into the character with ease. As Pooja, she tries to deliver it consciously, but in a good way, without being pretentious. Playing characters like Yusuf must be a cake-walk for Jaideep Ahlawat, and he does not disappoint. So does Anup Sonii. But the surprise element in the film is veteran actor Satish Kaushik, who is present for a few scenes, but definitely makes your laugh. His experience of captivating your attention, through any roles, shows through his role as a lazy police officer. He is a treat to watch. Overall, the film is entertaining, but one would be hooked, especially in the first half of the film. To sum it up, Khaali Peeli is one 'masaledaar' chase. The film is 113-minutes long, and While almost all of it seems senseless, such films serve to be good popcorn entertainment. Amidst the tension and stress, watching this no-brainer is no-harm.
