One day when he came to a house to tune, he found a story of a murder case in that house.

The film was ranked among the "IMDb Top Ten Best Indian Films" and became the highest scored Indian film in IMDb in 2018. It also won more than 20 items including the Indian Film Audience Award for Best Film. Nominated for big awards.
This article will list some behind-the-scenes footage of this high-energy suspense film and talk about some speculations about the plot itself.
1. The name of the movie is "Andhadhun", which means "reckless and ruthless, fascinating blind drama" .
2. Ayushmann Khurrana, who played the role of pianist Akash, first debuted as a radio announcer, so he can be considered a musician.
3. In the film, Dr. Swami played by Zakir Hussain once called Simi played by Tabu Lady Macbeth , The source of this joke is actually that Taboo once played Mrs. Macbeth in the 2003 Indian film "Maqbool".
4. Ayusman is wearing a pair of special contact lenses, which are said to affect 80% of his vision. When he finally wears sunglasses, it can affect 90% of his vision, which can basically be regarded as a blind act.
5. The piano played by pianist Akash in the movie is Kawai Musical Instruments, a Japanese musical instrument brand .
6. In Simi’s house, the painting behind the piano is "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" by Hokusai .
7. Because the cornea does not have any blood vessels, corneal transplantation does not actually require blood type matching.
8. The filming time of the film exceeded one year, because all the actors were unable to adhere to such a long-term filming plan during the period, which caused the filming work to proceed very slowly.
9. Director Sriram Raghavan (Sriram Raghavan) and screenwriter Arijit Biswas (Arijit Biswas) used English to communicate when writing the screenplay. Riram once asked Alijit to speak Bengali. Write the script and have another screenwriter, Pooja Ladha Surti (Pooja Ladha Surti) write another version of the script in Hindi, and when it was finalized, they had to put all the lines in other languages All changed to Hindi.
10. In the last scene of the kitchen, when Simi hugged Pramod (played by Anil Dhawan), the camera finally gave Simi's hands covered with red sauce, indicating The upcoming murder of Pramod is related to her.
11. When Sophie took Akash for the first time, she naturally handed the Akash helmet, and Akash also naturally took the helmet. If Sophie was a little careful, she could actually It was found that Akash was pretending to be blind.
12. In the original edited version, there was a fragment for more than one minute, which explained how Simi attacked Dr. Swami in the trunk of the car, but in the end the fragment was not adopted, which is exactly Because of this deletion, the turn of the bridge section was bizarre and sudden.
13. At the end, Akash deliberately used a guide stick to hit the empty can on the side of the flying road, which means that Akash actually had a corneal transplant operation, which can be understood as the so-called so-called Radhika Apte (Radhika Apte). Sofie's reasoning is valid. Akash did get Simi's cornea in the end, or the whole story that Akash told Sophie was actually fabricated. All in all, this is a very interesting and open ending.
14. Although Akash said he was rescued by the blind rabbit, he was blind at that time, so he does not know what saved him or what happened at the scene, but from the end he has From the perspective of the guide stick decorated by the rabbit, there is a connection between him and the rabbit. This is another interesting point in the film, leaving the audience to judge the authenticity of the blind rabbit's story.
15. If you want to read too much, the neighbor boy who often appears in the film may be the biggest hero, because the ending of his character is the most abrupt. After he found Akash curled up in the room and crying, his performance was first serious. I got up, and then didn’t run away in fear, but turned away calmly. There was a feeling of he knows what he’s doing. The next scene about Akash was that he was caught by Manav Vige (Manav). Inspector Manohar Jawanda (Inspector Manohar Jawanda), played by Vij, attacked, Akash’s escape action and the footage can actually tell that he actually recovered part of his vision. You can see from his close-up on the street. His eyes had changed back to black, and when he was rescued by the doctors in the next scene, his eyes had changed back to white; one of the reasonable explanations is that the little boy actually went to his parents to rescue soldiers and so on. Maybe it was taking Akash to see the ophthalmology department, but after receiving emergency treatment, Akash slowly recovered part of his vision and planned to flee, but after meeting the doctors and gang, he came up with a plan to fight back. Then bring contact lenses; perhaps it was Akash and Dr. Swami who murdered Simi in the end of the film, and Akash used the money from organ trafficking to go to London.
Concluding remarks
Based on the original 14-minute French short film full of uncertain factors, "Tuner" obviously extended this uncertain factor to the entire film; the rhythm of the whole film is appropriate, the soundtrack is relaxed and witty, and the audience follows Akash's Experience the story from the perspective, and slowly fall into the reversal trap set by the director; multiple reversal shots can be called the textbook of high IQ suspense films, the male protagonist does not blindly pretend to be blind, and the male protagonist himself must pretend to be blind The performance made many details of the film true and false, but this is also the brilliance of the film. The so-called deception is to deceive everyone. The blind tune is the invisible melody, which can be true or false, or blind or not. The blind setting, open ending and playful details make this work a unique place in the suspense film. No matter how many reversals, deliberate or not, whether the details are worthy of scrutiny, it is undeniable that in this film In front of us, we are all blind.
