A murder occurs in an all-exclusive club, and the victim is the gym trainer, Leo Mathews (played by Ashim Gulati), who works there. The entire movie revolves around the search for the killer. It opens by introducing the status and relationships of various characters, along with the dynamics between them. The narrative then delves into flashbacks, with each character recounting the events of the fateful night to the investigating ASP. The plot primarily revolves around how the inspector unravels the chaotic lives of the club members to uncover the truth.
In terms of acting, Pankaj Tripathi shines as ACP Bhawani Singh, portraying a calm and likable character from the moment he appears on screen. However, the performance of veteran actors like Dimple Kapadia is questionable. It’s unclear if her characters were intended to be cringeworthy to convey a point or if it was a result of poor direction. The disappointing role choice from a veteran actor detracted from the overall experience.
Tisca Chopra delivers a standout performance as Roshni Batra, portraying a mother who dotes on her son while grappling with her sense of belonging in the club. Vijay Verma as Akash Dogra handles the other aspect of the story—the love story between Bambi (played by Sara Ali Khan) and Akash, an upper-class girl and a middle-class guy with strong ethical values. Bambi, a widow, is depicted as a bubbly party girl concealing her pain behind her carefree demeanor and kleptomaniac tendencies.
Bambi reveals to Akash that Leo was blackmailing her due to her habit, leading Akash to involve the inspector in further investigation. It is revealed that Leo was blackmailing several club members, coercing them to send checks to the orphanage where he grew up, portraying Leo as a modern-day Robin Hood.
Despite some commendable performances, SK’s portrayal of Bambi detracted from the movie, leaving viewers confused about her character’s emotions. Additionally, there is mention of a cringeworthy dialogue delivered by Karishma, which disrupts the viewing experience with its shrill delivery.
The film suffers from an abundance of characters, each vying for attention with their own stories, making it challenging for the audience to connect with any one character. However, the background music score is tolerable, and while the twist is predictable, the performances make it somewhat engaging.
Overall, the movie may be worth a watch if you have nothing better to do and are up for a challenge.
