The movie was a bit slow and felt like an extended episode of a BBC series about Cop/Detective/Sleuth in a rural setting. Nawaz is pretty decent and the story has a somewhat surprising twist in the end but there isnt much happening through most of the movie to keep its audience fully engaged. Rajesh Kumar provides some decent comic relief and is pretty fun to watch. Overall nice story with decent performances. I would recommend to fans of Nawaaz or slow burn suspense dramas. The overall plot is pretty good and reveal is a nice surprise. Watch it for Nawaz. It is Nice but nothing special. 6/10.

It's rare to say for a murder mystery but it is a soulful film single handedly carried away by Nawazuddin Siddique on his shoulder. Himalayan setting give the apt atmosphere to the film. It also reminds us after Raat Akeli Hai that how good Nawaz looks as a policeman solving mysteries. Director Anand Surpur has done a wonderful job with the simple script he has in his hand. Rajesh Kumar as Inspector Dimri also add flavor to the film and conversations between him and Nawaz bring humor to the otherwise dull film.

Background story of Negi should be elaborated to the audience for attachment with the character.

Every frame of the screenplay has been utilised with utmost perfection including the subtle humour of the characters. Thanks to the #OTT platforms! The ending of the movie is really well thought of. I was thinking what if this movie was released at the theatre and the hard work and the talent, whole team had put would have gone in vain. I loved Uttarakhand background as all the scenes were so scenic and mesmerising. The movie is less than 2 hours which makes a huge difference as it shows the team had put lot of efforts in editing. Last but not the least kudos to the casting director for selecting such an amazing star cast for this movie! Cheers!
