This is about a missing young man and a better title could have been " Missing " but I think there is another movie by this name. Nevertheless the movie is no great shakes despite having a potential for a gripping thriller. It remains a rather a slow and dreary piece of investigative TV journalism with Yami Gautam as a young TV journalist out to find out the whereabouts of a missing young college student who acts in plays critical of government policies. Everyone assumes he is kidnapped and probably killed. The sister and mother are distraught in his absence. Yami plays a determined and courageous journalist and follows lead after lead with no luck. She tries to fearlessly break through the politician cop nexus. She gets no help from her parents who are not too happy with the choice of her profession. Young Neil Bhoopalam on the other hand continuously expresses romantic interest in Yami but she is clearly too involved with the case. Yami however gets sympathy, encouragement, advice and endless cups of tea/ snacks from her doting grandfather Pankaj Kapur who is good as usual.
Director Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury just could not make the movie exciting enough and there are a number of routine scenes one after another. (Totally unlike his previous film " Pink" which was very riveting.) Even Rahul Khanna handsome and sauve as ever as a street smart politician finds it difficult to make an impression inspite of some well written scenes.
