The film fictionalizes a series of killings in India that remain unsolved to this day.

The film successfully blends two cinematic styles: thriller and horror.

Narratively, it offers surprises aplenty but the ending is a little overblown.

This film is just short of the mark. Primarily, it asks us to sympathizes with a lead character, a heavy handed policeman, who kills a man during an interrogation. He is suspended from the police and the only way back in is for him to privately solve a series of killings in Mumbai. We have a murderer on the trail of a serial murderer...

This movie is set in small town India and is all about the strange things people do to overcome the cost of living. It touches upon some rather serious issues, such as, hoarding, black marketeering, love marriages, among others but the touch is light as this is a comedy drama.

This is not Bollywood but it is not Bengali Art House Cinema either. The narrative is straightforward and the acting is believable.

This is the first review I have written on this site and I did so because I did not want anyone to miss out on a film that should be more widely known.

This is a comedy drama of some merit.
