7/10
The voice of death is that of a child
2 July 2022
A series of gruesome murders of young girls without any substantial clues to follow up with rattles the Police Department in Mussoorie. The investigating officer Meghaa Sharma (Radhika Apte) is leading the case, but has to work with Johnny Khanna (Vikrant Massey), an ace forensic expert with a penchant for investigative detection. The problem is that they have had a past that Meghaa wants to forget, and Johnny is eager to rekindle the lost romance. But that aside, the team starts putting the pieces together, largely using the forensic findings, and yet the murders continue. Suddenly, a video clip on the web surfaces that shows Anya, their only niece who binds them together, carting out a deadbody from a certain location. Shocked and outwitted at the development, both are taken out of the case and Meghaa is confined to house arrest while Anya vanishes from the household without any message, complicating matters further.

Is Anya involved in the murders becomes Johnny and Meghaa's sole objective. Meghaa is helped out of her house arrest by Johnny and both set out, running against time and in an adverse backdrop that impedes their search. Yet, the case has to be solved, and they aren't really ready for the disclosure. Honestly speaking, neither could I guess it. It's a violent end to the saga when the serial murderer is finally tracked down, and Anya is saved from her abductor.

Forensic makes for a gripping watch over its 128 minutes running time. It represents the dark side of human psychology and how people deal with their grief and sorrow. Vikrant Massey aces in his role of the forensic investigator, followed by Prachi Desai in a stunning role of a psychologist helping the investigating team. Radhika Apte tends to go over the top at times, but has punchy dialogues to deliver. Mussoorie looks heavenly as the backdrop. Director Vishal Furia manages to keep the suspense alive till the end. Credit must be given to writers Adhir Bhatt and Ajit Jagtap, Adrija Gupta for music and Anshul Chobe for the fabulous cinematography. Do watch it, it may be macabre but is certainly a quality presentation by Zee5.
