It’s a dry week at the movies. What with all eyes set on next week’s big release, and we all know what That is.
In the meanwhile, debutant director Manish Shrivastav bravely and quietly releases this noire comedy, redeemed by a proclivity to tell a botched-up crime-heist story with conviction, and by a cast of absolutely fabulous actors who know their job and have a knack of getting into character without fuss.
This is a noisily dark film filled with signposts declaring its naturalistic aspirations. The film has a nihilistic spirit cutting through it. Unfortunately the cuts are neither sharp nor graceful. If the truth be told, the pace flounders as director Manish Shrivastava gets self indulgently trippy in telling the story of a group of friends who are caught by a canny cop (Naseeruddin Shah) doing unspeakable acts of cruelty on one another.
For a large part of the terse narration,...
