Deepika’s character and her emotional struggles are portrayed brilliantly. It’s a powerful character study that many might relate to. One of her best. Background music and songs are refreshing and it compliments the visuals and also the overall urban vibes of the film. The best scene was between Naseeruddin’s and Deepika’s characters. Naseeruddin every time shines and just by looking at him, you believe his character. Legend always will be a legend. Chaos between professional and personal life is done mostly (Not every time) well as expected from Shakun who mastered this even in his best movie Kapoor and sons. Just feel Development of Sid’s character should have been better. It’s uneven according to me. His character needed more of a slow burn treatment than being a twisted character just for the heck of it. I also feel Sid’s performance was good but not too good. Not every twist came off well. Infact I never expected this to go that way. But one of the twist did came off well especially the last shot was superb and it’s a bold open ending that we rarely see in Indian films. So extra points for the cool ambiguity Shakun set in the end that we can discuss about. Really still feel overall not too satisfied as I was with Kapoor and sons. But need to give it to Shakun for doing something unexpected (Though it could have been executed in a better way) yet keeping his cinematic brilliance intact.
