let me start with this hands down my favourite film from last year. if you don’t wanna get spoiled which i recommend you don’t and watch this movie it is raw unadulterated form right now……..what are you waiting for.

the story begins with us getting introduced with a blind pianist Akash (Ayushmann Khurrana) going by his daily routine, until a chance encounter with a restaurant owners daughter Sofie (Radhika Apte) who is in need of a pianist for their restaurant. this is where {spoilers} we are shown that Akash is not blind but just acting to be able to live in the handicapped society to save up on money in rent, and to hone his concentration to perfect his art. During his routine performance in the restaurant, he is approached by a old film actor who wants him to play songs for the anniversary surprise for his wife Simi played by Tabu. now the things take a turn for the best (if u get what i means) as we are show along with Akash the incident that has taken place and madness that ensues.

the points i really want to talk about 1st the acting its was superb, Ayushmann and Tabu where just fabulous and really drive the movie with there acting, as the situation escalates you can understand their choices but even then it feels genuinely something they would have done. 2nd the music and built up the songs are not overly used in this film as to not break the tension but where used its feels so justified and the song
Naina Da Kya Kasoor is one of my favourite from last year. and at last i have to speak about where this film was shot PUNE a place i called my home for 6 years of my life seeing it again and being shown around in a film was a fun nostalgia.

the way the story comes full circle by the climax was really enjoyable though i did guess some aspects of the film i was always kept at the edges of my seat with the manner it took to approach the content. also you gotta love the open ending just an icing on the cake.

just gonna say this a black comedy thriller you should definitely watch, a 100% recommend and a score of 9/10.
