4 stars are for the DoP, a few long takes, lead role acting and an interesting 2nd act. Sadly that's all there is to it.
The writer(s) employ the laziest techniques throughout the movie and couple of times blatantly lie to the audience to get their attention. For eg. The opening shot shows a masked killed assaulting a couple that gives you an impression that there is a serial killer to be hunted. Later the same shot is shown from the inspector's narration labelled as his theory.
Somehow the inspector entirely forgets to follow up on his new recruit after the accident. Even if you give the benefit of doubt, there is no indication or even a mention of how he slipped out of radar after 5 years of comma. Guess the inspector must've forgotten about him entirely since he mentions he has a 'bad memory'
So what happened to those three boys who assaulted the traffic police? And one of them confessed to tampering with evidence. Foosh, gone? No action, no follow up, nothing nada.
In a flat with nosy neighbours, no one saw guys carrying girl on a gunpoint. Yes there wasn't a security guard but no one saw 2 guys a crying girl and the boy friend injured who followed them later. Okay fine co-incidence. What was Vaishnavi doing till the boyfriend told her what to do? You think a girl who witnessed assault would sit idle after someone carries a girl on gunpoint to assault her again and no call the police or even the neighbors for help?
Somehow film students are shooting for their film project for an alternate ending and very conveniently capture the girl entering. Okay I can treat this as suspension of disbelief. Then a girl in the middle of the night let's two guys enter without knowing them, when it's made clear to us that neighbors don't like it. Okay maybe she's dumb. Rajeev does not knock, as if he owns the house, he simply tries to barge in yelling OPEN THE DOOR. Shruti on the other hand is taking a shower at 12 am while it's raining outside. Another reviewer pointed out, that guy's plan was to assault the girl on her birthday. She could have had friends coming or calls to wish her birthday then it hit me, maybe the writer hasn't celebrated a real birthday.
At this point I lost all hopes but wait.
Final nail in coffin was,when the inspector says something like ... Had she not insulted that guy in front of everyone, would he have assaulted her?
Man, I hate whoever wrote this movie. I will fight the fans of his director all my life. What a waste.
