Plot

Vishwas Bhagwat is a police officer who is assigned to investigate the disappearance of Poonam, a young girl. During his inquiry, he learns a lot about similar cases that are linked to a local prostitution racket. While investigating, Bhagwat meets a college professor, Sameer. Bhagwat suspects that Sameer’s calm behaviour might have been hiding something complex. What happens next? Is there any link between Sameer and the missing cases?

Star Performance

Arshad Warsi did justice to the given role. His performance added more intense to his character. Jitendra Kumar seems to have come out of his comfort zone and played this role. Both these stars made their roles effective with their in-depth performances. The rest of the cast didn’t have strong roles.

Analysis

The script might appeal well while reading. But the execution needed a better hand. Though the stars fit well in their roles and gave intense performances, it couldn’t save the weak scripting. It didn’t connect deeply with the audience. Adding salt to the wound, the pacing is slow. However, the visuals are good, and take us to the place virtually. Though the makers tried a lot to convince us with the screenplay and dialogue, they were unable to get it to the fullest. If the screenplay had enough explanations, we might have been convinced of the scenes with psychological connections.

What’s There?

  • The leads’ performances are brilliant
  • The visuals and music are good

What’s Not There?

  • The screenplay should’ve been developed with enough grip

Verdict

Despite the weak screenplay, the film flashes some brilliance in the narration in a few places. For the performances and the story, it can be watched once.
