Detective Sherdil

After starting the movie i realised what this movie is copied from and only kept watching because of Diljit Dosanjh, as I am a big fan of his work and expected some comedy too but unfortunately I realised this is harf core copy of the famous movie Knives Out staring Daniel Craig with Indian masala, if you know those sequels you wouldn't want to see this movie unless until you're a Diljit fan. If you really want to enjoy a movie with such genre go watch the original Knives out movies, all 3 parts. Ofcourse the first part was the best but other three are also enjoyable. Overall not the worse movie I've seen but I feel it could've been better if they copied the original one ditto!

In the realm of literature detective story generates special interest. The venture to unveil the covered one always has a special appeal among the audience of all age groups. After all, who can ignore anything compelling to bite nail out of suspense?

The Movie Detective Shergill is another effort to make Celluloid portrayal of a detective story. Naturally, much was expected from the movie. But unfortunately, it has disappointed. The flaw seems to be too much experimentation. The storyline is straight forward. But it lacks certain important aspects. Rather, there seems certain elements which are contrary to such movie. Significantly, it is a boring narrative altogether and fails to hook the attention. Secondly, the element of surprise is missing. It is hard to understand why the Movie is so lengthy. Importantly, if one asks about the length of a detective story, it means nothing but worthlessness.

There are too many unnecessary characters in this Movie. The repeated use mouth organ makes things more boring. The way truth gets unveiled in this Movie doesn't sound convincing. Characters are also dull. It will be wrong to call it a detective movie despite named so. Not recommended obviously.

The movie is a complete letdown. There's no proper story, no emotional depth, and not a single moment of genuine comedy. It feels like a random sequence of scenes stitched together with no clear direction or purpose. The characters lack development, the dialogues are dull, and the entire film struggles to keep the audience engaged. Even the attempts at humor fall flat, making the experience tiresome rather than entertaining. It's hard to stay invested when there's nothing to connect with - no plot, no message, and no memorable performances. It's disappointing how much potential was wasted in trying to do everything but ending up doing nothing. If you're expecting entertainment, drama, or even a few good laughs, this film offers none. Just a drag from start to finish. Save your time and skip this one.

The film's use of local dialects and regional humor adds rich texture often missing from mainstream comedies. Sherdil's malapropisms aren't just random - they're specific to his Punjabi-English code switching, creating jokes that work on multiple linguistic levels. A particularly brilliant running gag involves him misunderstanding English detective terms and creating his own Punjabi equivalents, which somehow prove more effective than the "proper" techniques.

Character build up is as strong as thin layer of ice, the gravity of the plot is inversely proportional to gravity of a black hole. Director tried to save the movie but guess what !! It's Daljit's performance which screwed up everything.

The movie could be better if Daljit was replaced by some new comer and writer spent some time thinking about the characters and plot. From time to time editing messed up the screenplay.

Purely made for an audience who has nothing else to watch and can't understand dark or Sherlock like series.

It also seems the movie was supposed to be a webseries but fall bluntly in between it.
