One of Bollywood’s finest whodunit detective thrillers in recent few years
Rating: ****
It’s a dark night, a car winding its way up the hilly roads of Shimla, reaches its destination at the sprawling Mahendra Mansion. Mahendra Pratap Singh is about to retire for the night, suddenly the phone rings. This sets in motion for a series of engrossing, edge of the seat moments in this crime-detective thriller.
There’s a tribute paid upfront to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes.
Trees are drying out, the flowery plants are on a depletion mode and so is the owner Mahendra Pratap Singh who too, is on a deterioration state of health, so much so that he is shown jerking up even at the telephone bell ringing.
A young, beautiful and rich girl, Dimpy Singh (Madalsa Sharma), approaches Samrat Tilakdhari (Rajeev Khandelwal), a private investigator, with a strange case.
