Vadh

When you slaughter a demon, it is no longer a murder (hatya), but becomes a vadh (righteous kill).

And what a demon it is. Saurabh Sachdeva, as the loan shark who indulges in several degrees of depravities, is a disturbing revelation. With his baritone and his wandering eye, he will creep you out.

Sanjay Mishra is the victim of the loan shark. With his unshaven look, drooping shoulders and puffy eyes, Mishra personifies the debt ridden, troubled soul.

He shoots different arrows from his quiver of acting chops and gives one of the best performances in a character that has had several such memorable roles.

Nine Gupta and Manav Vij give solid support.

A word for the directors / writers. Selecting an unconventional city such as Gwalior as the location where the film is set (generally movies on dacoity have been shot here because of the proximity to Chambal belt) and then getting the patois perfectly and locations right is, literally, mind-blowing.

There are gaps in the script and it is no Drishyam. However, it is a superb film in its own right and ensures the viewer that quality films are still being made in Hindi.

Loved it.

In town a retired couple low middle class are getting frustrated as son who was sent abroad for betterment and uplift family status is not successful and still struggling with his economical and social struggles abroad. A debt is opted by father from private ways where the bouncer takes the pressurised ugly cannot ask for ugly demands.

It finally done. Hasin Dilruba, Drashyam like trend story unfolds.

Here there is no suspense for viewers but for characters of the film!

How it is done? What next now, newer to us are displayed. What next is kept alive till the end. The couple chemistry excellent, courtesy parts helping wife getting down cycle rixa, house hold work by wife excellent. Sharing secrets, agony, plan next delicately handled. Sanjay Mishra N Gupta at their best. Don't Miss.

When you have two seasoned actors like Sanjay Mishra and Neena Gupta in the main roles, it is definite that you will watch some high class acting irrespective of the quality of the script. These two veterans always get under the skin of characters they play and also have the talent to rise above a mundane script. Fortunately the script and dialogue of this movie is good and the director has ensured that audience interest is maintained all through. The plot has enough suspense and though there are hardly any surprises it may not be right to call it predictable because it isn't. Sanjay and Neena play an aged middle class couple who have a son working in America. Sanjay had to take money from a loan shark to finance his son's move to America. Now with no money coming in from his son he defaults on payments and the loan shark make life hell for the old couple and they are also in the danger of losing their home to the money lenders.

Director duo Jaspal Singh Sandhu and Rajeev Barnwal have made the movie quite gripping and there are some tense moments. As mentioned the acting of the lead couple is top class. They make the entire narrative believable. Saurabh Sachdeva as the villain has done exceedingly well and his menacing look brings in the desired effect. Manav Vij plays the cop with conviction. This movie may not appeal to average audiences since it is not the typical commercial mainstream cinema and there is no humour, music or any such entertainment.

The whole story centers around the blessing for a kid in disguise of the old couple who protected her. The character play of pandit ji and his wife is well played by the Sanjay and neena ji. Though the story overall sound like a story taken from a magazine but presented beautifully on the big screens. The entire cast have played their individual roles very well. So many emotions, hint of suspense and thrill makes it a whole. The locality, scenes, resources are perfectly picturised to shoot the scenes. Who likes to watch something new and theme based movies, should go for this one. Completely raw, no show off, no glitter, purely a middle class old couple story.

Rather than fake and irrelevant larger than life cinema, Bollywood need to focus on casting, story and really well acted movies. I was. My friend repeatedly asked me to see this movie and I wasn't keep of watching it as it looks a bit depressing movie but surprisingly movie gets better and better, I was so hooked on such a great acting by all the actors. Realistic locations and great story and screenplay . Such an underrated movie. I wish Bollywood makes these sort of movies to keep it originality rather than fake "larger than life" garbage. Such a great cinematography and direction. Definitely recommended.
