Kashyap is back in form and probably another one of his movies to get banned or heavily cut by CBFC. When it started, even though there were clear indications of some backstory, the way it began with the almost mundane way of killings, it reminded me of Fincher's The Killer. There was also the humour throughout the movie without losing the darkness. But once everything started to flesh out, it turned out to be much more. When the film wants us to see the world through the emotions of a psychopath(!) it clearly draws the picture and spells out the bigger evil that even hangs above these executioners all the time. The film doesn't spell out the name of the person or the party but essentially does it by describing everything they do and how even with so much money and power, the vilest villains of the movie including the protagonist, are still not evil enough to succeed in their endeavors. The film is essentially Kashyap's exercise in trying to understand the most damned villains in a desperate attempt to exist without fear in this country. This film is a political plea in the guise of a crime thriller.
