The movie did not provide any clear answers. For a script to be strong we need to understand why a certain character it taking an action. The movie offers little to the audience with respect to any insight into Shobhraj's criminal mind. Throughout the movie, I felt the director was more interested in Creating the Image rather than dismantle the character. But it just helps in creating an Image and does nothing to help the viewer understand character. There is even a long 15 min sequence where people are talking about shobraj, we see newspaper clips etc. It felt very rushed to the point that it became even boring. We are introduced to the antagonist very quickly and little time is given to the develop the character. Now the bad part As soon as the movie started my initials thoughts were that the movie was very confusing. The movie actually picks up pace in the second half and is worth the watch. Richa Chaddha playing a law student & Adil Hussain playing Amod Kanth did a good job as supporting actors. It reminded me of Jake Gylanhall's character In Night Cralwer. He was amazingly convincing as the protagonist. He was hands down the best part of the movie. There is also a custodial battle between the various state police to get the prize of catching shobraj And the best part of the movie was that I forgot I was watching Randeep Hooda. Police is shown making hilarious ghoofups. There is a stranger but interesting humour depicted in the movie.
Let me start with some nice things about the movie. I purposefully didn't even watch the trailer of the movie before watching it. I went into the movie without knowing anything or any expectations. The notorious criminal played by Randeep Hooda. After he went to Nepal he was arrested by Nepal officials for the murders of 2 of his victims. After spending 21 years in prison he was released in 1997 and retired comfortably as a celebrity in Paris, charging large sums of money for interviews and 15 million dollars for the rights to his life story for a movie. During the 1970s Charles Sobhraj committed at least 12 murders throughout Southeast Asia of tourists on the hippy trail.
