🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The director employs a dynamic visual style, contrasting rapid cuts during chases through Varanasi's maze-like alleys with static, almost theatrical evidence-revealing scenes.
Those who enjoy mysteries with self-aware humor and unpredictable twists will find a refreshing take on the genre. What lingers is the feeling of a cheerful journey with a subtle hint of the supernatural. — MovieFinder Editorial
