I will begin by saying that Neeraj Pandey deserves a huge round of applause for making this movie.

It takes some serious courage to think that the viewers of the 21st century are a bunch of morons. And this sort of courage shouldn’t go unappreciated.

Firstly the movie is excruciatingly slowpaced and long….it could have been atleast 45 mins shorter.

Secondly the plot is wafer thin and yet it goes on and on for what seems like ages as the timeline bounces back and forth between the past and present.

And last(ly) but not the least(ly) 🤪….. There is supposed to be an element of suspense which you will guess right within the first 30 mins or so and when they actually reveal it towards the end you will bang your head against the wall for being right.

Seriously the reason on which this whole fiasco is based is so ridiculous that logic would jump out of the window and commit suicide in shame.

Ajay DevGn plays a Loverboy who is in jail for murdering two people for trying to rape his girlfriend

Tabu plays the girlfriend.

Oh wait…..when they were younger, Ajay’s character is played by Shantanu Maheshwari and Tabu’s is played by Saiee M Manjrekar.

Both of them have given an okay performance and neither of them looks like they will grow up to be like Ajay or Tabu…..not by a long shot.

But Neeraj Pandey wants you to believe such stupidities just because, he has written the script and that’s how it is.

So chawls in Mumbai are beautifully constructed with nicely done cobbled streets.

Jails in India are spic and span, with solitary confinement spaces neatly tiled and cleaned with harpic thrice in a day to make them shiny white.

Visiting people in jail is easy peasy where people neatly line up and wait their turn.

Everything is just picture perfect…..except the plot.

That’s convoluted and implausible…

Tabu’s Loverboy is convicted of murder while saving her and she goes off and marries another guy, becomes filthy rich and now has a swimming pool in her penthouse by taking a 10 lakh loan and getting into handloom supplies.

And I don’t even know why they had to show this.

Also I wonder what Jimmy Shergill is doing in the role of the husband. He has to be seriously out of work to take up something like this.

Anyhoo, by the time the movie was over I was trying to nurse a massive hangover without having a single drink.

#DaMoRating: 11/10

Disclaimer: All the 11 points are for me because I had the courage to watch this movie till the end….warna Auron Mein Kaha Dum Tha? Haha 🤪
