It's shocking to know that it was the brainchild of a debutant director. Netflix has a unique choice when it comes to which movies need to be promoted. The sudden disappearance of jackfruit from the garden of a local MLA creates a stir in the neighbourhood. The MLA takes the police machinery for a ride and orders the department for enquiry and file an FIR for the disappearance of jackfruit. Rajpal Yadav as a news reporter was very witty and funny in some scenes and Sanya Malhotra as cop had done a good job. It was totally a different topic to make a movie nevertheless, a job well done. There were no songs and at times it was a bit slow. MLA always taking a dig at his son in law was very satirical and would lead the audience to believe that indeed he has stolen the jackfruit but the end scene reveals it all . Its a modern day satire on the entire system as to how a local MLA can use the police machinery for his or her benefits which is also true in today's scenario.
