Overview
- Umesh Shukla’s black-comedy thriller starring Divya Khosla Kumar and Neil Nitin Mukesh released in India on September 12, presented by T-Series and produced under Merry Go Round Studios.
- Opening day collections are estimated at about Rs 55 lakh net, a low start that still put the film slightly ahead of Mannu Kya Karegga and Heer Express, with buy-one-get-one offers boosting footfall.
- Critical response ranges from strong praise to sharp criticism, with News18 lauding the film’s tone and Khosla’s performance, Rediff panning the acting, and Filmfare and Free Press Journal noting uneven shifts in genre and impact.
- The story follows a resourceful single mother who leverages a found smartphone’s incriminating contents to pressure a corrupt businessman, setting off a satirical cat-and-mouse chase.
- Promotion has leaned on audience outreach and behind-the-scenes material, including Khosla’s emotional appeal at a special screening and her noted method prep such as dialect work and a brief stay in a Lucknow slum.
