Blind

On the plot... you are searching for a serial kidnapper. Police wasn't interested to take it seriously unless people have to convince them, neither they check/find any single CCTV in whole Glasgow during their investigation. Villian was like super man, can kill anyone, reach anywhere, even after the long chase with eye witness... He didn't even see his face or identity the villian. Unnecessary drama to make it long. Except Vinay Pathak, others are just trying hard to be in the character. Useless logic in crime investigation, when they say Sonam was top cop and highest ranker. I doubt Scottish police is that dumb to conduct such stupid investigation ever.

Premise had a potential of having a great thriller cinema. Director and writer didn't know what they were doing, its so undercooked crime thriller that you will cringe at every moment there is a twist. Shot in London but there are hardly people on the roads at all the time.

Talented police officer turned blind runs into a serial killer and how her skills comes in to play to chase down this killer would have been great if they have incorporated great puzzles. Serial killer shown here has no impact and randomly appears and disappears. He doesn't kill people when it's easiest and that is not by design. So many flaws. Crime thriller written and directed by amateur team.

The film lacked a compelling narrative, with an absence of a coherent backstory for the antagonist. Moreover the characters in the movie (excluding the protagonist) hardly had any personality or story. The plot fixated on the life of the protagonist (Sonam Kapoor) and started off well, 50 minutes into the film the story lacked connect to the rest of the film. The movie suffered from a lack of cohesion, leaving several gaps in its overall storytelling. Moreover, the casting and acting didn't make the movie any better, failing to enhance the quality of the film. I truly can't believe how the movie has a 8.3 rating on this platform, given how horrible it was.

Anwar Says: Casting Bay is a true company which chooses the right person for right character of a movie and the perfect example is this remake of a Korean movie of the same name. But in spite of the perfect cast film fells down. Could have been a perfect comeback for Sonam Kapoor but long drawn scenes and predictable every next sequence made it a boring one.

Purab Kohli, as I have said, was a perfect choice for villain but if director Shome Makhija couldn't exploit him , it's not his fault. Newcomer Shivam Saraf impresses in his limited screen presence. Vinay Pathak concentrated more on eating than playing an investigating cop. I really pity for Sonam Kapoor.

Adaptation allows plenty of room for improvisation but if the Caption of the Ship decides to use the same old methods of sailing and sink the boat,it would never find the bank of the sea. Watch it only if you have nothing else to do.

Worth a one or two times watch. Honestly, the plot is a little unclear and vague. A few parts are unreasonable. There has been a trial of portrayal of humour through the character of Prithvi but in vain.

Now coming to the aspects I appreciated (1) Sonam's acting was very good. She totally justified her character and absolutely suited the role. Overall she did a great job.

(2) A number of lessons (though common) you can take away from the film.

(3) Eerie setting as needed but could have been better.

(4) Beautiful portrayal of the bond between dogs and humans.

If you are free and bored go watch it.
