Storyline

Brij Mohan (36), a hosiery shop owner in a busy Delhi market, desperately wants to change his life. He is fed up of his ball-crusher wife and mounting debts. In order to escape his wretched life, he changes his appearance and adopts a new identity as Amar Sethi, but ends up committing a botched up murder. He runs off with his young girlfriend, hopeful of making a new beginning. Instead, as luck would have it, he finds himself trapped in a web of his own Karma.

User Reviews

We're finally getting there

Thanks to Netflix a new era of Indian cinema is beginning. Goodbye to all the stupid, song and dance, censorship and same old love stories. Finally filmmakers are getting a chance to show off their creativity and make good movies where people talk like they do in real life and movies are for entertainment not preaching.

Anyway Brij Mohan is one of these movies. Profanities are thrown left and right (having lived in Delhi I can totally relate to everyone sayin BC all the time).

Some parts of the movie were genuinely funny but the reason why this isn't an 8 or 9 movie is that the suspension of disbelief had to be too much. I was willing to go with everything shown in the movie but the ending ruined it for me. It was like a cop-out by the director storywriter and just too out there. Still it's a good one time watch.
