Blackout

Blackout (2024) plunges viewers into a single, blackout-stricken night in Pune, India. Crime reporter Lenny D'Souza (Vikrant Massey) finds himself at the center of the chaos after a car accident leads him to a van full of dead men and cash. The ensuing events involve a motley crew of characters, including a hilarious alcoholic (Sunil Grover), dimwitted thieves (Karan Sonaware & Saurabh Ghadge), and a damsel-in-distress (Mouni Roy).

Vikrant Massey shines as the harried Lenny, perfectly capturing his desperation and growing paranoia. Sunil Grover steals the show with his delightfully unhinged portrayal of Bewdya, offering genuine laugh-out-loud moments. The blackout creates a tense atmosphere, and the initial car crash sparks curiosity about the hidden secrets within the van.

The film tries to juggle too many characters and subplots, leading to a messy narrative that loses focus. The introduction of new characters in the second half feels forced, and some plot twists are predictable. Blackout attempts to be a dark comedy, but the humor lands inconsistently. The attempts at emotional drama also feel out of place. The camerawork and editing are serviceable but don't particularly stand out.

Blackout has its moments, thanks to the strong performances of Massey and Grover. However, the uneven screenplay and tonal inconsistencies prevent it from reaching its full potential. If you're looking for a fast-paced, light-hearted comedy, this might not be the best choice. But if you're curious about a film that takes a wild ride through a blackout night, it might be worth a watch with lowered expectations.

Movie is a all rounder It has a slow starting Movie has a different side till 1st half and movie switches itself in second half.

Comedy is very well written and performed.

Performances were top notch.

Mouni Roy's role seems not of use Sunil Grover steals the show.

Vikrant Massey has done fabulous job.

In the starting, We can't guess what's going to happen.

In last 30 40 minutes, there are so many twists and turns that you will be amazed.

Jaw-dropping ending.

Well written & well performed comedy thriller. Not like typical cringe movie which Bollywood is into nowadays.

Suspence is maintained till the end.

A good watch with friends and family.

One time watch for sure , Movie becomes boring after first halt, Sunil Grovers character feels weak , Mouni Roy was just there for eye candy , could have done much better with this story , Vikrant Messy delivered promising performance. They lost the fun theme in middle of movie and after that it was some flat boring predictable storyline. Unnecessary characters and unnecessary songs and emotional drama. Feels like certainly not touching and convincing enough. Good end though. Some good punches in the first half , good laughter at initial many points but ran flat after that. Overall a one time watch movie.

So yesterday night I went for this 'Blackout' movie which turned out to be a surprise element in Dark Comedy genre in recent time. At first let me tell you that, it was quite enjoyable for young mass with some situational comedies of a night, but somewhere lacking to became a memorable movie. So I will consider it as One time Watch kind of category or you can avoid it as well.

The Acting performance of Vikrant Massey was brilliant, he just nailed his role. Other Tik-Tok Characters also played their parts brilliantly. Mouni Roy's acting was nothing here ; you can skip it. She just added as a glamour in this movie for 15-20min. The show stealer performance was given by Sunil Grover Sir. The way he was introduced and the way he was finished the role was quite brilliant to discuss. Those Golden Gun fight sequence from the Car and his facial expression while car chasing was definitely worth appreciation.

The background scores were quite brilliant. Screenplay was tight and gripping. Editing was top notch to just 2hrs. So overall in technical POV, Movie is nice to watch for one time. From my side it will be 6 out of 10 Stars for it. You can go with family as well.

Comedy movie yesterday watch' to hotstar and enjoying the movie Vikrant Massey shines as the harried Lenny, perfectly capturing his desperation and growing paranoia.
