Bukhaar is an extremely exciting film. From the moment it begins, it keeps on amazing the viewer
with its attention to detail. From the tiny nuances in the gestures of the character, the language, to the way the screenplay reveals one facet over another, one could tell that it has
been made by a skilled filmmaker, along with a team of seasoned professionals who are at ease with the process.
It is the story of superstar Ronit Kapoor and his alter ego, Satyendra, or vice-versa. The lead actor, Abhinay Bansod, whether he is imitating someone or devising his own poetics, is drawing in the viewer all the same. The only point of reservation is the treatment of the character’s mental illness or his darker side, so as to say. The temptation to make a moral or social statement out of his ambition overpowers the larger idea of the narrative, the fantasy that the story thrives upon, one which is also the more special part of the film.
