Just finished watching this movie. I must say that it has a very Coen Brothers feel to it. The director seems to be purposeful in the pace of this movie, being set in a sleepy town. You almost feel like you are in a place where there is nothing much to do, and the protagonist, rightly so , goes headlong into something that would take him away from his otherwise boring life. The acting is somewhat subdued , and I guess that is intentional too , making the storyline rise to the forefront. I thought the last half hour was the strongest part of the film, which unravels the truth. It does draw inspiration from Chinatown and there is a tiny homage to it during the movie , when a scene from the movie is playing on TV. Kudos to the director and his crew for making such a believable movie , far removed from the histrionics and unfathomable dance routines which Bollywood has subjected us to for eons !! HIGHLY RECOMMMENDED !!!!
