Want to check out our review before watching the film? ETimes rated the film with 2.5 stars out of 5, and our review reads, “The basic premise regarding identity and the core crime are interesting and could have made for a unique and interesting revenge thriller. The initial twists are pretty awesome, but the writer-directors Akhil Paul and Anas Khan, who earlier made Forensic, aim to create so many stylish, OTT (meaning, over the top) twists that it gets difficult to identify with the characters, and there is a disconnect, which is the main failing of the film. And you are constantly wondering how anyone could write up and then direct a complicated story like this. It’s a pity, because largely, it is well-made with perfectly coordinated cinematography by Akhil George and cuts by Chaman Chakko.”
