This is a film with outstanding writing/screenplay - PERIOD! There are many kinds of films...some are acting centric, some are direction centric and some are visual centric, this is a writing centric film, which means it's screenplay, is outstanding compared to it's other aspects, and comes out as it's primary selling point and attraction.

It's been some time since the era of screenplay centric films in Bollywood began. I think, now it is flourishing.

Humor is good, subtle, novel, and is well written into the script. Some new, refreshing and skilled cast is also a plus point.

I have only one major complaint with the movie and that is it's abrupt ending. The ending is unexpected and surprising in the sense that at that point, it seems that the film will go on for atleast 15-20 minutes more. There is an improper closure, and viewers would have to use their imagination a bit to conclude things; I would have preferred a more proper closure to the investigation. But taking this aspect of the ending out, the ending seems well written with a good touch of irony.

Funny, thrilling , suspenseful and excellent performances from all. Ifran is a brilliant actor and pulls this role with aplomb. Highly recommend movie . A dark comedy, not your typical Bollywood movie. A must watch

Direction:

Delhi Belly fame Abhinav Deo is back to black comedy genre after failure of Suspense and Action saga Game and Force2. As many scenes will recall you Delhi Belly's funny incidents. As Black comedy is new harvest for Bollywood and quite refreshing with compare to silly and WhatsApp's joke based comedy movies.

Performance:

Irrfan proved his mettle again in this black adult comedy drama. Nowadays Irrfan is little bit choosy regading script and he always come up with something new and refreshing one e.g. Piku, Hindi Medium and Qarib Qarib Singlle. Aronoday Singh has done great job in the role of unlucky husband of rich wife. Pink fame Kirti Kulhari looks good in supporting role. Divya Dutta and Omi Vaidya have done justice with their roles.

Script:

As script is quite good as Delhi Belly in terms of treatment. Some scene used as symbolic e.g. Water tap where you will be laugh based on your imagination. This means that script has great connect with the audience. As Bluffmaster movie has bluff as infection, same thing about this script because every one is blackmailing every one. Bajrangi Bhaijaan fame Parveez Sheikh has done brilliant job in great writing.

Music:

Amit Trivedi's music is with in frequency with script and situation. Two other music directors Badshah and Guru Randhawa have great contribution in form of "Happy Happy" and "Patola" where "Patola" is already party anthem.

Dialogue:

Any comedy genre, Dialogue is the soul of the movie. Dialogue was witty and funny at the same time.

Box-office:

As this black comedy earn 2.8 crores only which less than expected amount on day 1. Word of mouth is really good for this movie so we can expect good footfall on Saturday and Sunday.

Last Words: Wish speedy recovery of Irrfan who are fighting with Neuroendocrine Tumour so that he can enjoy the success of his work in this movie.

As Irfan Khan never stops giving up his amazing performance.. this film follows the same..

The story and direction is upto par.. and every character have done justice to the movie.

Overall an excellent movie to watch... Total worth

Mahn! This was something. Honestly speaking, I wasn't expecting it to be such a fun-filled experience. I mean your expectations will always be high from an Irrfaan starter, but this truly was epic.

Every cast member was so much involved in their character that you would actually feel at a point that you are witnessing a live show of interlinked blackmails.

Brilliant film making!
