A well written and perfectly acted release with a properly constructed narrative about the crime underworld that doesn't just rely on guns, blood and a high dead body count. 'Edegarike' has a gripping semi-linear narrative with an interesting and believable plot and thankfully no cheesy item numbers to break the suspense. Aditya has eclipsed and even bettered his epic 'Deadly Soma' role as the similarly named contract killer "Sona". Atul Kulkarni is completely believable as a hit-man with a conscience, in a part that is a million miles away from his now legendary performance in the Marathi blockbuster 'Natarang'. Adapted from a book by Agni Shridhar and apparently based on his own real life experience, this film easily trumps many Hindi releases in this genre. If you're a fan of quality crime films, this is one for you. Highly recommended.
