The CinePearl Take
Urmila Matondkar’s razor‑sharp performance anchors the film, turning vulnerability into cold calculation with unsettling ease. Raghavan’s tight pacing never lets the tension slack, while Saif Ali Khan’s charmingly corrupt cop adds a deliciously slippery foil. The film’s stark visual palette and morally grey storytelling make it a standout neo‑noir in Bollywood’s catalog.
