Go to the gates of Chinese movie theaters, pick up basic movie brochures and read, nothing more than a big director, big money, big star, big investment, Hollywood special effects, some big IP adaptation, if you can't help the temptation, buy a ticket and watch it After one look, you will be loudly scolding your mother, except for a few game-like special effects, a few hard squeezed jokes, a few little stars with leaking thighs, or a few old men who come out to play soy sauce with folds on their faces The drama bones, the others are forgotten, especially the storyline is unclear.

Chinese directors are all about their kung fu, they are very good at bragging , and their storytelling skills seem to have been forgotten long ago. Look at other people in India, don't talk about singing and dancing, you can't compare. Someday people don't dance and they start telling you serious stories. You can't even compare.

Although this film has some suspicions of forcibly pulling you into the play through the protagonist's constant memories and nagging, the three stories are still closely linked, and the grasp of human nature is also in place, because the lawyer's wife and lover There was a ghost in his heart, and he was made a scapegoat.

Therefore, the reasoning, logic, human nature, and the lack of Indian high-tech case-handling methods in this film are still very real.

    Similar to "Manslaughter", it is an attempt by Indian filmmakers in the new era for new themes and new structures, and it is closer to the narrative rhythm of Hollywood movies. Three corpses, three days of interrogation, three paragraphs of narrative, constant flashbacks and shuttles, who told the truth? Who is lying again? In this modern-day "Rashomon," no one can leave after the rain has stopped, and that story finally has a reasonable ending.

    It is indeed a low-cost suspenseful reasoning brain-burning film, but the second half of the process is obviously insufficient, and there will always be new evidence to refresh the police's understanding of the entire incident, but there are still bugs at the end. When the criminal kills, where is the wife of the deceased... But I am satisfied that India can make it like this, at least there is no singing and dancing, I am very grateful.
