If plot twist after plot twist after plot twist after plot twist after plot twist ad infinitum keeps you entertained even when the so-called plot has not been sufficiently laid out - go for it. Me? I got tired of the twists.

The characters are given classy dialogues but depth is sacrificed at the expense of a plot twisted around itself in a dozen knots. Dilliwala Ayushmann Khurrana makes no attempt to let go of his dilli heritage. For example, when he's angry, his trademark annoyance expressed in rapidfire spitting of sentences is same across all his movies. Didn't look for a moment that he belonged to Pune.

Acting by others in the main cast is mediocre at best. The only character who shone in acting is the betrayed wife of the police officer. Her expressions and responses are extraordinarily well done in every single frame! Hats off to her. Too bad her role was paltry. Her amazing acting was the only highlight of this movie.

It's a film written for the forever finger swiping smartphone generation that outsources cerebral functioning to apps loaded on their screens. With their phones on silent, any appreciation of depth or meaning in life is lost on to them. All they care for is to swipe from one twist to the other.
