- GoofsDrinking snake poison doesn't kill anybody because snake poison is nothing but a protein and is broken down by acids in stomach, it can be fatal only if the drinker has some cut or ulcer in his/her digestive track where it can enter into blood stream and depending on the nature of poison (neuro or hemotoxic) it can kill.

Featured review
A highly enjoyable thriller with a phenomenal musical score
I love this style of movies. From Andhadhun and the other films made by Sriram Raghavan to this film, we see a new breed of stylish Hindi thrillers, which are slick and beautifully photographed, smart and well developed, funny and commanding. The narrative style, filled with phenomenal old-style songs which pay tribute to the wonderful music of the 1970s, make everything so easy and enjoyable. I can just imagine the same script with a different, heavy score where the mood and effect would have been so much more disturbing, but here, it's pure entertainment which encourages the audience to take everything in the right playful context. There isn't a dull moment, and the audience is taken on a wonderfully whimsical ride.
Story-wise, the film isn't the most original, but the execution makes it a visual, musical and cinematic experience, indeed. The actors all work well together, and it is Huma Qureshi who gives the film its mysterious energy through her modern femme fatale. Rajkumar Rao is a solid lead for the film, but the supporting actors are even stronger in giving the film its comic mood. Radhika Apte is terrific, and so are Sikandar Kher and Arvind Manivannan. The singers' work for the soundtrack is very good. Anupama Chakraborty Shrivastava does well in mimicking Asha Bhosle, not that she is anywhere on Bhosle's level (no offence, of course), and so do the other singers. Overall then, a fun film which makes for a great watch.
