Featured review
The movie starts unusually with a song starting with happiness and ending with grief conveying all those which normally takes 30/40 minutes of story telling. Kudos for that and the song was also mesmerizing
Its a mystery thriller (not sure how many people can't guess it!!!) involving an old disabled chess teacher who had lost his grown up daughter and grieving officer(who had lost his 7-8 yrs old daughter) and how they come together to overcome it. Hold on, it doesn't mean it's just an emotional drama. The story goes back and forth about the friendship and how their friendship is linked to the main thriller plot.
Crisp dialogue, excellent BGM and great cinematography and great performances from Amitabh and Farhan. But somewhere if you can guess the suspense, it becomes predictable and you may lose interest. If you can't, then you will really enjoy the film. )
Actually the climax monologue by Amitabh, if had been more effective (like Rajesh Khanna's in Anand) and who else can recreate the magic. An opportunity lost according to me.
Nevertheless, it's definitely a one time worth watch given it sticks exactly to the plot and it's just 100 minutes movie without much glamour (which is anyway not necessary). Go for it just for Amitabh and Farhan!!!!
