Shashank Khaitan’s story is sophisticated however promising. Shashank Khaitan’s screenplay is straightforward regardless of so many twists, tracks and characters.

Shashank Khaitan’s dialogues are witty however general, it ought to have been funnier as there was a variety of scope for it.

Shashank Khaitan’s path is neat. Handling such various and distinct characters and giving them justice is not any straightforward process. In this regard, Shashank succeeds massive time. The second half is longer and but one doesn’t really feel it’s getting prolonged or dragging as there’s a lot occurring. The intermission level is sudden and the developments within the final half-hour are fairly arresting. The therapy and Mumbai-ness do give one a déjà vu of BLUFFMASTER [2005] and LOOTCASE [2020] however that isn’t a deterrent.

On the flipside, some plot factors are plain foolish, and in addition handy. A significant plot level, associated to Gauri, is kind of far-fetched and may not be straightforward to digest for a bit of the viewers. The scene the place Govinda is chased by Sandy within the second half serves no function and is just pressured to simply add extra pressure. Moreover, Gauri’s backstory and household background isn’t established and it does hamper the affect, particularly with what occurs within the second half.
