Movie Review - Andhadhun

One Word: ASTONISHING

What is Life? It is based on the LIVER. Surely, the quote said above will not impact you much until you finish watching the movie.

Sriram Raghavan, a man with the Midas Touch in dishing out twisty neo-noir (french word for creating crime movies of the 1940's with twisted dark wit) from Ek Hasina Thi (2004), Johnny Gaddar (2007) and now the recently released Andhadhun. A movie which will keep you guessing about what is coming up next and will keep you glued to the seat till last minute. Inspired by a French short film L'Accordeur or The Piano Tuner (2010) by Olivier Treiner, AndhaDhun is a nerve-racking tale of fear, deceit and crime, that keeps you on the edge of your seat as it teases your mind.
Andhadhun - Movie Review
The storyline of the movie is simple, where a blind pianist Akash (Ayushmaan Khurana) is living his normal life of completing a tune which is not getting completed meets Sophie (Radhika Apte). In a turn of events he meets a famous and old Bollywood actor Pramod Sinha (Anil Dhawan) and offers Akash a private concert for him and his wife Simi(Tabu) for their wedding anniversary. When Akash reaches their home, Pramod Sinha is already murdered and he witnesses some activity related to murder. His conscience urges him to report the crime he has technically not ‘witnessed’, but is there more to him than meets the eye?

Andhadhun
The story and its execution is the true highlight of the movie. The twists and turns happen in such a eventful manner that one cannot miss it with a blink of the eye. Ayushmaan Khurana is definately one of the great and underrated actors of the generation. He delivers one of his best performance till date and lives to the character. His choices of movies and the genre of his movies he chooses makes him a great actor from Vicky Donor to Andhadhun. Tabu, an actress par brilliance. Her acting skills are aptly utilised and she delivers a fantastic performance. Anil Dhawan whom one can see after a long time has acted his part well along with Zakir Hussain as Dr. Swami, Ashwini Kalsekar as Rasika, Manav Vij as Inspector Manohar, Chaya Kadam as Maushi. Radhika Apte has limited screen space and she has also played it to her forte.  Applause should be given to the director Sriram Raghvan who has thought of such a movie and created a masterpiece in itself. This cinematic experience will not let you stay back in your seat relaxed. Crisp editing grips you.Cinematography is something that boasts the storytelling.Tribute to Chayahar & Chitrageet is something that needs applaud. Piano scenes are superbly crafted and choreographed , underlined by Amit Trivedi's music and Daniel B George's background score Befitting the title - Andhadhun.

So grab the ticket and be a part of this eventful journey. Andhadhun shouldnt be missed. With IMDB rating of 9.2/10, Andhadhun is truely one of the best movies of 2018.
