i say the director be quite ambitious when he undertake the making of this film but i feel it pay off . the indian audience be usually use to the amasala type of movie which incorporate a little bit of everything and be not a bad thing at all ( heck i be attract to bollywood movie for the very same masala . ) so do not get me wrong . however this film offer something different and variety while which be stick to one genre . what stand out for me the most while besides the brilliant acting of priyanka and john and shiny ( all three be very talented and quite under rated performer ) be the ambiance of the whole film . it be a dark tale of guilt and need for salvation . a noir and i think the director get it the t and specially in the song tera hi karam while which be full of shadow and blackness which reflect the inner turmoil of the character john and seem to follow him everywhere . i mean his close be black and white ( quite abstract and not as simple a it seem ) . the only element of colour and light in his life be those in which his wife shalini be a part of ( that be and in the song and . actually in the film itself . ) . however the colour and light seem to be threaten by shadow and darkness such a when acp singh search john house and you can hardly see any light and colour a it be half engulfed in darkness . the portrait of shalini be half in shadow ( perhaps a metaphor for the situation she be in or the shadow represent john himself and the effect he have on the life of his loved one ) . i think it have justify end though i can understand why some people might get frustrate with it . overall and i think people should give it a go and watch it with open mind and a clean slate and try not to read and judge use rigidly the convention of traditional indian cinema that most people be use to and it might surprise you and you will find yourself enjoy it . besides i be a big shiny ahuja fan so i might be a tad bit bias into try to get you guy to watch it . it might just be your cup of tea xx .
