Rediff Deepa Gahlot

Pulkit's film has its short bursts of dark humour, but it is not a David-versus-Goliath story of easy victory of the weak, like Khosla Ka Ghosla (2006). In India, real life is not fuelled by optimism. The viewer cannot but sympathise with Anil and root for him every time it looks like he has made a breakthrough that will solve his problem, and wish that this harried man will smile again. The power of evil cannot be underestimated, and more often than not, goodness is not an adequately sharp weapon. Pulkit's treatment of the heart-wrenching story has the unembellished look of reality. And Pratik Gandhi once again proves that he is an actor who can bring any character to life with his dedication to his craft and instinctive understanding of what the role requires.
