Lovely murder mystery. Nice to see a movie with suspense being the theme with perfect pacing, enough eye for details, solidly enacted, no distractions of songs etc. Pretty much whatever makes a good solid yarn of a suspense from the good old school is in here.

Two deaths, missing woman, disappearing witness and a Cop led by his assorted bag of assistants, including a new recruit in the hunt.

I loved the way the story dealt in small details, especially at the police station, the new cops, the stress around their work etc. Rehman plays his part well.

Definitely worth a watch.
