The movie had potential. And it's a good one-time watch. Better than the masala Bollywood movies anyday. Like I said, it had potential. The suspense is not very opaque. If you are a fan of thriller and suspense you can easily detect the camouflage in the first few scenes. I knew that there was more to Nandini's claims than what was shown which made the twist in the interval, not such a grand reveal because I had pretty much guessed it. What they could have done was, like Andhadhun, expose the mystery in a cavalier manner, as though it wouldn't make a difference if the audience guessed the plot or not. From here they could have taken the second half in a much better place than it eventually ended. I like the fact that they did justice to the title. The court scenes have an authentic quality to it, unlike regular movie court scenes. They could have the ending better. It felt a bit anticlimactic and unbelievable that the mastermind Nandini would resort to killing in the courtroom. A good outing by PRK productions and Raghu Samarth. Ragini Prajwal holds her own for her debut. The veteran Kannada actors give the movie it's direction.
