Rajkumar Rao’s first-ever suspense thriller of his career, basically a frame-to-frame copy of Shailesh Kolanu’s Telugu film with a surprise climax that deliberately deviates from the original. While the tempo is upbeat (background score & sound direction aid that experience) , the sequences are interesting and the acting is sincere, the plotting seems a little too weird and convoluted to be believable. As long as Vikram (Rajkumar Rao) a disturbed Homicide Intervention Team lead, battling his own private demons, was investigating the sudden inexplicable disappearance of a young girl from the middle of a highway in which her car breaks down, the narrative is on a good wicket. The minute the writer/director tries to make it complex, everything falls apart. Nevertheless, the film has enough tension and intensity to keep you engaged, if not exactly thrilled!
