After nine years in the service, tonight is a momentous one for Alok, a cop who is about to meet Manohar Pandey, a very crucial figure in the world he inhabits. As the plot develops, it presents a moral dilemma. Manohar begins to narrate a story from a couple of years ago, and a palpable intrigue takes over the film. Something is underfoot, something deeply amiss.
As ideas of right and wrong, and an overarching sense of justice are painted for the viewer, the question that locates itself at the heart of the story becomes what is the best path of reaching the right decision - a traditional one, or something far more brutal? All of this is portrayed with remarkable writing, imbuing the narrative with authenticity, alongside a screenplay construction that enhances it with equal vigour.
The performances are unmissable, and the background score is created with care. At the film’s conclusion awaits a terrible development, but one that is impossible to look away from.
