        "perfect example of 'if this then what'"

        I have to give the plot, highly unlike to my other reviews. One scientist - played by the great Dipankar Dey - invents a serum which, after getting inhaled through a cigarette, extracts only truth from the person. Cool ensemble, like any other Sinha films. Also, as usual for any Sinha's work, technical department rocks again. This is a perfect example of 'if this then what' kind of screenplay which traverse through all the different hierarchy of a society, and the high end impact of the second act comes very organically.
