Rating: 2/ 5

If you thought this supposed crime comedy thriller would keep you on the edge of your seat, you are mistaken. The narrative begins with Govinda Waghmare (Vicky Kaushal) pleading his girlfriend Suku (Kiara Advani) to rush to the railway station and stop him before he attempts suicide. We are then introduced to the protagonist’s struggles — a domineering wife Gauri (Bhumi Pednekar), who demands Rs. 2 crore in exchange for divorce, a paralysed mother Asha (Renuka Shanane), confined to a wheelchair for years, and a legal wrangle with his deceased father’s first wife Charulata and son Vishnu for the ownership of a bungalow in Mumbai that is worth Rs. 150 crore in today’s real estate market. Add a dash of crime — drugs, murder, corruption — a peppy soundtrack, some shocks and surprises, and voila! You could have an engaging masala fare.
