Who'll love it
Made for crime fans and anyone who likes to be kept guessing. If you loved Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery or Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood
Tense, gritty.
The pace
Fast-moving, at 2 hr 29 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Hindi, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Audiences were cooler on it than critics.
