Plot
A van carrying cash in crores. In other words, with the name of a character and the shooting location filmed on a rainy night in the outskirts of Mumbai. Three gangs go searching with the plan of being unaware of other groups in the area. However, everybody is in the same boat regarding the plan. Bullets...Blood...Betrayal... Everyone for himself... All the dogs are after one bone. Will these dogs sally and bite in the bone, or will greed triumph in them?
Star Performance
The movie comprises famous actors like Arjun Kapoor and Radhika Madan. The star performer of the film I would say Tabu mam and Mr. Naseeruddin Shah. They have done a superb job like always and their presence makes it worth watching.
Analysis
In its simplest sense the phrase ‘noir’ in the context of films relates to a movie with action by night primarily in the dark zone, plotting in obscure night joints with vengeful and obscure characters grappling with an unfair system Most of the films falling under this genre are often complex with a heavy emphasis on the visuals, make-up, soundtrack, and not much on the story. Such movies incorporate loud music in the background and pulsating/ rock music. Due to the tragic nature of the setting and the plot, the characters overall seem to have a fatal attraction for staking actions and with great pleasure annihilating enemies. Taking all this into consideration this movie can be said to fall under the category of noir cinema but this should not be taken to mean that it does not have its flaws and rough edges.
There is finally a gang of desperados, there are actually three groups and those are the criminals (the guys) the policemen and lawbreakers (the dolls) and all want a van full of money irrespective of the other’s intention. At one stage they stand face to face cocking the gun ready to pull the trigger and shoot each other. The flow of the story is choppy and incoherent, but at the same time, it is rather intense. It’s all the vices as usual; power and materialism, deception, treachery, violence and assassination, questionable accommodations and some serious underhanded business. As suggested by the title the characters seem to act like dogs, but in fact, dogs are known to be faithful and this attribute the characters do not exhibit at all.
The current track of the show is divided into chapters like Sab ka Malik Ek, and Aati Kya Canada. Some such ingredients are probably besan, moong ki dal etc which does bring interest to the food. One of the characters shares the” frog and scorpion” which reveals that the scorpion will sting regardless of conditions due to its nature’s slides. This is a reference to one of the major themes of the movie, namely the desperation of the main characters.
The Director, Aasmaan Bharadwaj, in his first outing as a director, has replicated what his father does best and may have even surpassed him in some instances. The title track of the movie ‘ Kaminey Click to look into! >> Read More... ’ persists in tumbling all the time. Likewise, there is some extraordinary work done on the camera movement, and the music that complements the film’s theme. Casting has attracted top talent and this has seen the actors give good performances. Last, but not least the movie is very dark and may not suit the simplistic taste of the average populace. Thus, the noir cinema is not something which could be easily enjoyed by everyone.
Altogether, the movie has failed in hitting the mark of what the Bhardwajs always aim at.
When it comes to Bhardwajs they in turn need to meet a lot of expectations as they have been churning out class movies always till now. Here they are missing the attitude of darkness, the storyline, the special characters, the songs, the loud drama and performances.
The movie can be watched only for TABU as a cop she was outstanding and robust while all the other were just average. Rarely, I found some scenes funny and they were not that dark. I found that the movie for a significant part was cruising between thrill and humor with little or no story to bolster. Sometimes you believe that the film is engaging but at some point, it traces a wrong line.
This was a viewing of the series strictly on OTT.

Verdict
With lots of flaws but some good humor, dialogues, thrill, and storyline are the aspects that leave impacts. People should watch this film once as the plot, cinematography, editing, background, and songs are intriguing and it is worth watching for only one time.
