Movie Review
Though the screenplay is a bit slower paced, the plot point of the film is quite regular but the director executed very well, and the movie starts off well but immediately falls flat before getting interesting at the interval part. The murder mystery unfolded quite interestingly in the second half, which is the film’s strongest asset.
The performance of Ashish Gandhi as Babu is good, but his appearance does not fit the character. The rest of the cast does a good job, but the production values could have been higher.
Director is a one-time watch film; if you don’t have anything else to watch, give it a shot; go in with no expectations; you’ll enjoy it.
