India's suspenseful reasoning should be more breakthrough

First of all, from the perspective of perception, the rhythm of this movie is too rigid, that is, when all the blame points to someone, then this person is definitely not the correct answer, even if you don't know the correct answer, you know that it will be reversed next. This has led to the fact that the retrospection of different crime scene scenes during separate interrogations was originally a very good expression, but now it lacks due changes and unexpected reasons. When the male protagonist is describing, he knows that the female protagonist will react when describing Turn around, and the female protagonist can also predict that the male protagonist will reverse when he speaks. When the male protagonist is convicted and sent to the detention center, he can guess that the next reversal will be inevitable, and the female protagonist will become the passive party. Until the male protagonist burns the body of his deceased wife, he must have guessed that the male protagonist is the real murderer. How to get around it is entirely up to the movie itself to supplement the details and connections. of pleasure.

The second is to reveal the truth at the end. The way the detective and the male protagonist communicated on the phone was a little too weak, and it meant a forced reveal. Although there were shots of red capsules and pills before, this connection was slightly weaker.

In fact, the whole case is still quite complete, basically it can be said that there are no obvious loopholes, and some plausible loopholes can also be explained in other ways. For example, the late arrival of some evidence is due to the laziness and stupidity of the entire police system, and the failure to detect an overdose is a forensic incompetence. But there is a bug that I find difficult to explain in the past: when the murder case was first reported, the newscaster said clearly: One of the dead was the writer's wife and the other was their lawyer! Why doesn't the writer know his lawyer? Even if we don't go into this, it is assumed that they just know each other and haven't met. Just because the male lead writer appeared at the scene of two murders at the same time in one night is the biggest doubt. This is too much to prevaricate the audience.

Indian movies are generally divine dramas. Even though many of them imitate Hollywood themes, many of them have their own characteristics and great breakthroughs, such as "My Name is Han" in "Forrest Gump", "Death Unknown" For "Memento" and so on. So seeing that this is an Indian reasoning suspense, I have the expectation of a breakthrough. Looking back, it is really a bit unfair. .

    Although it is also a truth reversal based on conventional criminal investigation methods, fortunately, the existing environment is a rendered inaction police environment in India. The movie is a process of persuasion. The protagonist personally demonstrates that the combination of different phenomena will use coincidence to defeat the truth. It is an excellent psychological warfare, and it is also very relevant. The narrative sense of the two protagonists is good, and the interpretation of this reasoning is much better than the "Invisible Guest" that was compared.

    The film is indeed an atypical Indian film. Suspense, mystery, reasoning, and reversal are the soul of this film. Do you have to pay for murder? The answer is that if you can't catch it, you don't have to. The plot, dialogue, and pacing are all pretty good. But the ending is normal. If many years later, Dev happens to read the new book of the writer involved in the case that his wife bought. Then it was discovered that the murder plot in the new book was the truth of the murders that year. This is much better than the writer's self-destruction before escaping...
