1/10
Outdated screenplay full of potholes. Extremely poor direction. Bad casting
15 October 2023
1. Terrible screenplay
  • the story jumps randomly from one sub plot to another, from one timeline to another. Felt like we were in a multiverse.


  • some characters are randomly given importance without establishing their purpose or motive eg: who is shankari devi, why does she exist, why is she so annoying were all questions left unanswered


2. Worst casting ever

  • ranked in order from worst to best (don't know all the actors' names so will alternate between the actor and the character)
  • shankari devi (complete misfit as the mistress)
  • taher raj bhasin (bad mustache, bad haircut, not enough gravitas for the role). He is much much better than this and should stay away from such roles.


  • bangali - terrible casting, bad hairstyle
  • vinay Pathak - wasted in the wrong role
  • Arjun's wife - poor casting, bad acting
  • sanjana - HAS to go to an acting school


3. Outdated dialogues, terrible direction
  • Milan Lutharia ji - this is not 2005 and this is not a single screen movie. Please adapt or you won't be relevant any more.


  • the background score was the same as once upon a time in mumbai - at least try to make something new/different
  • the dialogues were from the 80s with common recurrence of absolutely obsolete and overused statements from jeetendra movies.


Very disappointed with the execution. Expected better from Milan - as he is the OG of this genre. He could learn a thing or two from the creators of Bombay meri Jaan.
