About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a twisty Hindi tragi-comedy that mixes underworld tension with offbeat laughs and strong acting; Not for you if you prefer straightforward crime stories like Monica, O My Darling or Darlings.
Pros: sharp dark humor; strong performances; crisp, fresh script | Cons: uneven tone shifts; some dragging stretches; abrupt, divisive ending
