You don't even have to be a movie buff to enjoy this! It's the kind of movie anyone can sit through and have fun watching. It has an engaging storyline riding on a taught script, sleek direction, crisp editing, well etched characters,remarkable performances and a mind blowing music! What more can you ask for! It has all the right things in the right proportion. Writer Yogesh Chandekar ( cannot think of him without mentioning the pathbreaker Andhadhun where he was the co-writer) once again has spun a tale that will have you hooked till the end! The story and screenplay are replete with such unexpected twists and turns, that the viewer would think twice before he gets up for even a bio break!!. The difficult part in such a script is to do justice to each character and make the character come alive and be significant in the whole scheme of things and the writer has succeeded in doing this with a panache that only a good story teller can! Hats off to him!

Vasan Bala's direction is top notch and he represents the new age filmmakers who know the pulse of the new age viewer who would not settle for anything less! Bollywood doesn't have to mean just big Stars and big names...it actually breathes ( a fresh breath!!) today, thanks to such immensely talented folks who are ready to experiment and give the viewer something that isn't medicore and stale. Every scene speaks of how much thought must have gone into making it look not only funny and quirky but also plausible! Achint Thakkar doles out a music score that adds the necessary punch to the craft without losing on the melody. Performances are worth mentioning...I esply loved Radhika Apte as ACP Naidu. If it's a dark comedy, the comedy part i owe it to her! She is outright hilarious!!!! She has carried it on her shoulders to give the movie it's funny edge along with Bagavathi Perumal. He kills it with his act! Rajkumar Rao is one of the finest actors we have today and he plays the trapped techie part to the T! Huma Qureshi too is an underrated actor who has a charm that few actresses of our time have! She gets into the skin of the character with an amazing ease! In Sikander Kher, we have tumbled upon a great villian through Monica.... The dialogues are so 'day to day' and 'feel at home' that there's an instant connection with the storyline and the characters !

You will come out of the experience smelling of Notorious Noir Extreme and to know how it's connected, you'd have to watch Monica O my Darling!!!!
