The story
Shaurya (Rajkummar Rao) must pluck up the ‘courage’ to stay alive after he accidentally locks himself up in his new rented apartment in a desolate Mumbai high-rise, for almost a week. To make things worse, his phone battery dies and since the building is devoid of residents, electricity and water or food supply, Shaurya must take extreme measures to survive this unexpected nightmare.
The review
Rajkumar Rao had been a fantastic actor and we, as the audience, expect a lot more from him. He did a perfect show. The movie went forth with such brilliant acting from Rao that at one point of time, it was almost as if I was part of the whole thing; the sweat, the tension, the feelings of hopelessness and fatigue. It was pretty well enacted, the director giving importance to the smallest detail. The sinking feeling of not being noticed after making all the efforts to do so was nail biting. I thought it was pretty okay but then oftentimes I am wont to the devilish thought that this idea could have been stolen from a Hollywood movie or some book that the producer might have read or heard of. But then, stories are made of these, aren’t they?
I prefer to give it a 8 out of 10. Loved it!
