Ayushman Khurrana is known for selecting versatile subjects and unique roles since debut. However, success also has been accompanying him with recent movies unlike the roller-coaster rides previously. His last 2 movies, "Bareilly Ki Barfi" and "Shubh Mangal Savdhan" have both been critically acclaimed and commercially successful. His new release "Andhadhun" has got an interesting subject of blind man in a murder premise. The trailer also was intriguing.
Story : Ayushman plas a blind pianist who teaches piano classes and looks for inspirational tunes. Radhika Apte, daughter of a restaurant owner, gets him a job to perform at their restaurant. In short time, he gets good recognition for his skill. He goes to teach piano class at home to Tabu on the request of her husband as an anniversary gift. A crime scene happens at that house and how it effects the life of the hero forms the story.
Performances : Ayushman stands out as the blind pianist with his body language, dialogues. He is known as an spontaneous actor and this film proves it again. His acting prowess improved the impact of thrilling episodes in the movie. Next standout performance in the movie is Tabu. Should say this is a comeback movie for this talented actress who gets to play a meatier role after many years and she has just nailed it. Andhadhun clicks because of these 2. Radhika was apt for the hero's love interest and played it effectively. Anil Dhawan as Tabu's husband, Manav Vij as Inspector, Zakir Hussain as doctor are other prominent characters who have done justice to their roles. There are hardly 3 or 4 supporting characters in the movie and there is no unnecessary casting.
Technicians : It's a fantastic team work. Editing has been crisp and cut to point. Art work has been very good with great ambience created according to the mood and locations. Cinematography is subtle and suits the thriller movie concept. Songs are limited but good, background score is an asset to the film generating curiosity and lifts the tempo. Director "Sriram Raghavan" has been outstanding with the writing. The screenplay. plot, casting, executing everything were phenomenal. This is going to be remembered as one of the best thriller movies in the bollywood history. Especially, the 1st half of the movie needs to get special mention. This is one of the best 1st halves i've ever seen. There is a surprising twist or a shocking element in every 15 minutes since start. Compared to this exceptional 1st half, the 2nd half might look a bit slow down. But the overall experience is a thrilling ride and I don't remember when was the last time audience enjoyed a thriller with so much fun and interest. The way the 1st scene of the movie is interlinked to the climax is great.
Positives :-
Ayushman & Tabu
Screnplay
Terrific 1st half
Entire Casting
Negatives :-
Not much, to some extent 2nd half may look clumsy
Analysis :-
This is a thriller one should not miss. It has the surprising element and edge of the seat moments throught out and a lot of brains and efforts would have gone through in the making.
Rating - 4/5. Must Watch Thriller, Trust me, You would be Shocked
