Vadh

The whole story centers around the blessing for a kid in disguise of the old couple who protected her. The character play of pandit ji and his wife is well played by the Sanjay and neena ji. Though the story overall sound like a story taken from a magazine but presented beautifully on the big screens. The entire cast have played their individual roles very well. So many emotions, hint of suspense and thrill makes it a whole. The locality, scenes, resources are perfectly picturised to shoot the scenes. Who likes to watch something new and theme based movies, should go for this one. Completely raw, no show off, no glitter, purely a middle class old couple story.

The story brings with it the nostalgia of classic Hindi literature, the scenes from the filming location depict the reality of a large majority of Indians, the pace with which the story develops & the turns it takes at several key moments are truly enjoyable, especially for someone who either comes from or wishes to understand the India that is.

In times when entertainment has been limited to short outbursts of senseless titillations, bringing out a story that doesn't offer it, is simple, slow, predictable & yet, is moving, realistic & thought provoking is commendable.

Acting of all characters especially the protagonist makes the movie all the more alive & a good example of how slow building movies can be a great watch.

When you slaughter a demon, it is no longer a murder (hatya), but becomes a vadh (righteous kill).

And what a demon it is. Saurabh Sachdeva, as the loan shark who indulges in several degrees of depravities, is a disturbing revelation. With his baritone and his wandering eye, he will creep you out.

Sanjay Mishra is the victim of the loan shark. With his unshaven look, drooping shoulders and puffy eyes, Mishra personifies the debt ridden, troubled soul.

He shoots different arrows from his quiver of acting chops and gives one of the best performances in a character that has had several such memorable roles.

Nine Gupta and Manav Vij give solid support.

A word for the directors / writers. Selecting an unconventional city such as Gwalior as the location where the film is set (generally movies on dacoity have been shot here because of the proximity to Chambal belt) and then getting the patois perfectly and locations right is, literally, mind-blowing.

There are gaps in the script and it is no Drishyam. However, it is a superb film in its own right and ensures the viewer that quality films are still being made in Hindi.

Loved it.

Movies like this are hard to find these days. Gripping plot with som fine performance. Perfect afternoon movie. You wont disappoint and leaves a smile at your face by the end of movie. Fun trivia is the villain in the end turns out to be the actual Director of this movie.

Full marks to the makers to have a movie so engaging with limited budget. Must watch.

Got to experience a different kind of film, the best thing about it is that its simplicity.

Sanjay ji never disappoints with his acting and so is with Neena madam, seeing both of them together gives a different experience in itself.

Even if there is no great twist in the film but its performance and the slow progress of the story seems very good, many people will compare it with Drishyam and add names, but it is wrong.

Yes, I agree that the method of the story is similar, but its story and characters.

The acting keeps us connected in a different way and gives us fun.

Worth Watch, personally I Loved the Story and Acting.
