Raat Baaki Hai

In my opinion this story is not appropriate for a full length feature film but for a 20 mins short film. The story is also not new, we all have watched and heard so many stories like this before.

A murder, some love stories, cheating, then revenge and that's all.

Because every character was very simple, there were not many scopes to show actor's acting skill. And that's why all the actors were just okay.

I can't say this is a bad film but of course NOT a very good film. So, If you skip this you'll miss nothing.

Based on a play Ballygunge 1990, the story of this whodunit unfolds in a single night with the murder of a bollywood actress, Dipanita Sharma on her engagement night. Her writer fiancee Anup Soni is the primary suspect as he absconds from the crime scene. Fate lands him at the doorstep of his ex-flame, Paoli Dam who gives him shelter for the night. Rahul Dev plays the part of a police officer on the roles of a high ranking politician asked to take charge of the case to save someone.

A great concept for a classic whodunit, great cast too.

Alas, the film falters in the execution department. A very linear narrative might work in a play, however it fails to create an impact here. It starts off with great promise but becomes very predictable in the end.

The are no adrenaline rush moment's as the film slowly moves towards a climax that makes you feel that something could've been better.

Rahul Dev , Anup Soni and Paoli Dam give sincere performances, but cannot translate a good play into a great film, thus making it a rather average watch.. Adios🙂

A decent weekend watch! However, the film doesn't keep you on the edge of your seat. Most of the casts have done a good job but none gives a memorable performance. Storyline is ordinary (but not bad) and that's the weakness of the movie. Do watch!

Very predictable story line with not so much uniqueness to the plot. This isn't a bad film. Probably bit better than some of the craps out there on OTT.

For the first half hour, it was tedious to sit as the movie was too slow. Some pace to the movie could have brought a difference. Characters seems half baked and even in an predictable script, the right execution could have made the difference. Dialogues were good.

Basically, this isn't a very bad movie. Intent was there to make it a good film but somehow the execution failed.

Rahul dev was my pick from the movie, but his character lacks depth. Anup Soni was okay. Rest of the cast was average. None of them able to leave strong impression.

Barring Rahul Dev and the other cops, all performances are below par. Even from seasoned actors like Anup Soni.

Can be a 1-time watch if you have nothing else to do.
