This is an engaging dark comedy from Akshat Verma. It follows four parallel stories during a day (and night). Yes, the plot has a few loop holes here and there, but by switching between the stories at the right time, the director maintains a good pace.
The one staring Saif gets the longest screen time. Saif's character gets to know that he is diagnosed with last stage cancer and has only a few months to live. He has always led a healthy life and thus is perplexed at the news. With nothing to lose, he decides to take lsd during a boring party. What follows is his crazyness and he insults a policeman who catches hold of him hiring a prostitute. Flirts with a girl and finally shoots himself in leg.
The second story follows a commitment phobic Tara who is going abroad for her studies and mocks at her boyfriend for proposing that they get engaged. She goes through a rough night, right before she is to leave, but gets through it thanks to her boyfriend who helps her all along. This makes her finally respect his concern and love for her.
Third story is that of Angad who gets a call from his ex, the night before his wedding and he goes to her for one last fling. This makes him question his commitment to his fiance. However, he realizes that this experience only leaves him with more gratitude for her fiance.
The fourth story is of two peddlers, deepak dobriyal and Vijay raaz, who hatch a plan to loot their boss and make enough money to settle themselves. While they are the best of pals, but can they trust each other and will karma bite back.
There is some bit of craziness in the narrative because of Saif's character hallucinating after consuming drugs. His track with the transgender prostitute is interesting and a non-melodramatic portrayal of someone dying of cancer is very fresh. The story of dobriyal and raaz is also interesting with a very natural performance from raaz. However, the movie still is not very tightly scripted like a 'ek challis ki last local' or layered like 'shaitaan'. It stops short of being a cult movie and the ending is pretty mediocre.
