Film review: Andhadhun



Image result for andhadhun
#Andhadhun......funny, twisted, edgy, gripping, violent.....it keeps you on the edge of your seat,  this film, for most part and leaves you gasping for more. Leaves you with a few questions, makes you calculate as you exit the movie hall and keeps you wondering what just happened?........A blind (or is he?) piano player, a yesteryear film star, his seductive and much younger wife, makes for a heady cocktail. Inevitably, there's a murder and it's not the identity of the killer that matters, but the murder's aftermath........This is home territory for Sriram Raghavan, whose resume includes films like Ek hasina thi and Badlapur....After watching Andhadhun, I have decided to forgive him for his hand in making the terrible "Agent Vinod". This is easily his best film since the fabulous "Johny Gaddar"...............While Radhika Apte does a good job, this film rests on two actors: Ayushman Khurana, who internalises and brings a fiery intensity to the talented piano player's character, who's a victim of circumstances, and of course, Tabu. She sizzles in practically every frame she appears in, owns up the screen and the audience, as the no holds barred Simi...............Go and savour Andhadhun. It's not everyday that Bollywood makes intelligent (though not without a few loopholes) and entertaining thrillers.
