So checking this out on Amazon Prime I thought it would be a "Hostel" type film. It's not at all. It mostly takes place in a crumby Hotel room. With lots of talking and flashbacks to pad out the time.
That's not to say I don't like Hindi films. I've enjoyed the "Murder" films for what they were. But those films definitely had more action. This is essentially a single location type film. Once the opening shock ends that's about the extent of any thrills.
The film is also about an hour and 40 minutes long. And man does it feel longer. One thing I did like was the commentary about India. The male lead laments it's citizens live on dimes a day to serve Coffee to smug tourists like him.
In the end the plot had promise on paper. It just kind of fizzles out after about 30 minutes. If you watch it don't expect a horror film.
