Review of Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar

What worked: It may not be an aggressive DP movie in many regards. It still is a very well executed piece of art and like the many movie lovers across the world appreciate the nuances and subtlety in a movie it's a satisfying watch. In a way we can say the movie is a non DP movie in the way it's written and directed but also a DP in all other aspects. It's true this movie especially is rather a sentimental based rather than the content based movie by the director, making it a cinematic experience rather a thriller or a mystery. So the experiment by the director is welcomed and appreciated. I would believe it's one of Arjun's best performances par Finding Fanny and better many of his performances. Same goes for Pareneti. They have worked so well in their role that we begin to question if they were not casted right in their many movies or it's the director that makes the performers aware of their vulnerabilities and expressions. The supporting cast as always Raghuvir and Neena shines so does Jaideep. It's a satisfying watch. A touch of Nepalese aromas made it fresher and appealing.

What did not work: Of course, it's not paced evenly for a thriller but fine for a drama. It might have tricked audiences by their different expectations. Different is not always good but here it's appreciable. Some minor plotholes but at the end of it, it's just fine.
