About
Not for you if you want a clean, romantic, family-friendly ride; it’s a darker, edgy black comedy with intense tension like Dedh Ishqiya or Kaminey, and the language may be off-putting.
Pros: witty dark humor; standout performances; steady pace | Cons: rough language; some story confusion; ending feels abrupt
