I had thought this would be decent to watch as there are very small bunch of movies to call them thrillers but it actually crossed my expectations. Its introductory scene was terrific and violent (for some I think) but it has created decent foundation for the rest of the film. Taapsee Pannu as victim of rape has really convincing and as a audience we will really feel sympathy for her. Through her acting she will really win audiences heart and convinces us throughout entire film. Screenplay was excellent and uts the best I had watched in the recent. Throughout the scenes it makes us jump on the seat and gets compelled to the scrren for rest of its to complete.

For those who need a much needed break from the 'boy saves girl' genre, this is the go to film. Parts of the story are reminiscent of Groundhog Day but the semblance stops when the script takes a dark turn and keeps the viewer gripped and guessing as to what happens next. The BGM is wonderfully woven into each scene; acting, especially of Taapsee Pannu deserves much kudos; editing and direction have been innovative, blending in both supernatural and psychological. In all, a must watch psychological thriller.

The movie started to take your attention right from the word go, it was all through 'guess what next' kind of a screenplay, but the end wasn't scripted well which was a disappointing.

Plot : A woman must face her fears to survive<br/>It's a typical thriller plot deserving (3/5)

Execution : Impressive. With a neat screenplay, apt bgm, impact making dialogues and an excellent cast performance, this film is an outstanding thriller for sure. (4/5)

Characterisation : I'm going straight with a (5/5) for the characters of the film. The actors have delivered an excellent performance in this intriguing thriller. As audience, I sighed when they sighed. I hold my breath for them to not make sound. The connectivity factor was really a plus with a strong back story too.

Justification : The genre is thriller. Was it justified? Yes. The film has some scenes that may be considered as boring but that's actually a part of character development and that's what makes you feel for the character. It's (4/5).

Appreciation : I'd appreciate this film for it's amazing cast performance (+1) and I really loved the character establishment (+1)

Criticism : A feeling of repetition and unrealistic occurrences arises. (-1.5)

Overall : The film is worth watching, better than Happy Death Day and definitely a must - go for thrill seekers.

8/10

A bold move by Indian cinema to get into a unique psychological thriller but with a weak storyline. Anyone who is a huge fan of this genre like me and have watched several movies can easily predict the movie by then end of first 60-65 minutes.
