The narrative centers on a man who uses some spy cameras to plan a criminal act. In order to stick with the criminal theme, he sets a few cameras outside and in someone’s home with the assistance of one of his friends. He begins by installing the spycam inside Miss Khan, his neighbor who engages in paid sex. She has regrettably been observed calling potential clients at her house for the same reason. Miss Khan is the first victim of blackmail, then an inspector and a few more people. He plans a bank robbery, to be done by the people blackmailed by him. Each crime leads to another and then yet another, and the characters are caught in a loop. Does he really become successful in blackmailing all of them? Does this bank robbery become successful? To know the answers to all such questions, one must watch the film.
Writer-director Paierry Dodeja has tried his level best to use technology in this suspenseful crime thriller. The best use of a spycam can be seen in this film, which is used for such a big crime as bank robbery.
Actor Satinder Singh Gahlot’s performance is highly appreciable. He has done justice to his part, and apart from him, other artists like Succhi Kumar, Sona Bhandari, etc. have also impressed the audience by giving their best.
Music does not play a major role in this suspense thriller, but the background score is quite impressive. Taj Mahal is beautifully captured by the cinematographer.
Although the movie has many flashback scenes, the director has smartly written on the screen about the scene and its background from time to time so that the audience can relate one sequence to another. Initially, the audience may get confused in finding connections from one scene to another, but as the film approaches its peak, everything gets clear.
Overall, this is one of the finest suspense thriller movies that will keep your attention on hold till the end. Technically, the film has many twists and turns, but no continuity issue is observed. This is a must-watch for the audience that loves to watch suspense thrillers. So, why wait? Go and watch it in your nearest cinema hall.
