Raima Sen’s character’s arc feels wholly unnecessary. To speak about the performances, Vinay Tripathi is very satisfactory as Brij, the moustachioed policeman who is determined to keep SV out of trouble, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui is completely wasted but shines as the small-time goon. The film takes its own pace to unravel and could have been a much tighter narrative but is helped along with a great background score echoing the folk music of Rajasthan.Īlso read: Abhay Deol on Bollywood & Nawazuddin Siddiqui A slew of characters presents themselves and SV is in the midst of it all – he’s finally the protagonist of his own story in the ever-changing quagmire of the plot, with twists and turns as far from straightforward as the winding desert road. While Abhay Deol’s character, “SV”, thinks he has managed to nail the politician, he soon realizes nothing is as it seems and that only the words “ Manorama, age 32” must make sense to unlock the heart of the mystery. A canal is in the making in the village, a project driven by the irrigation minister but opposed by civil society organisations who believe the promise of water is fraudulent.
A strange lady arriving at his doorstep with a strange request – that of spying on her husband, the current irrigation minister, to catch him red-handed in the throes of an affair – turns his life upside down and sets him down a dangerous path of deceit and betrayal.
