raja menon has delivered a tight film in his second attempt. lasting barely 97 minutes, this film has no unnecessary scene or prolonged sequence. kudos to hemanti sarkar. vibrant visuals of mumbai, a simple, straight-forward story and strong performances by vijay raaz, violante placido and tannishtha chatterjee. this movie has got it right. the focus is steady throughout, not the visuals, not the music, just the story.
vijay raaz, as yadav, is the soul of this film. the role does justice to the abilities and versatility of this actor, and vijay fully exploits the opportunity at hand. one scene at the railway station, in particular, takes you into the heart of character, the sheer frustration and gloom on yadav's face are enough to make this film worth watching. violante and tannishtha shine within their roles. naseeruddin shah has a large role in terms of screen time but with almost no dialogue. he does not fail to impress, playing the role of the silent but intense shukla. arjun mathur's performance is over-shadowed by the sheer skill of the actors he shares the screen with.
all in all, a film which must be watched. both for the sheer artistry of it as well as for the strong message it puts forward.
