Review of Kadakh

Kadakh (2019)
7/10
enough attractive to one time watch
19 June 2020
It is a dark comedy written by Rajat Kapoor, which is filled with many bizarre characters inside the same flat.

The majority of the film is set indoors, so the writing needs to be exemplary, which is not here.

The premise presents enough intrigue, but it fails to be a compelling story. The plot is unique, but its story is chaotic. It starts as a thriller and turns into a play with no sense at all.

The film is mostly in search of its identity. Its another weak link is very many characters.

Every character here comes with their issues, but that doesn't really contribute to the central plot. The writing sometimes surprises.

Apart from the beginning of the film, there is not much to attract attention. The ending also seems very simple and unsatisfactory.

As I said, the film has many characters. The first of these is Ranvir Shorey, who is a great actor. But it has taken some time to see him doing something interesting here.

There are many such moments where we see what he can do, but he fails to remain memorable.

Manoj Pahwa and Mansi Multani are effective. Rajat Kapoor also comes as a writer. Cyrus Sahukar is in a good character as a motivational speaker.

Apart from this, the film stars Chandrachoor Rai, Shruti Seth, Nupur Asthana, Sagar Deshmukh, Tara Sharma Saluja, and Kalki Koechlin, and Palomi Ghosh.

One of the weak links of the film is also directed by Rajat Kapoor. He occasionally directs. He has increased the noise with every passing scene. Rajat Kapoor fails to make a compelling story out of it.

Overall, SonyLIV Kadakh movie has come with a long story and short run-time, which has a lot of good moments. It's attractive enough to be watched at once.
