I was kind of excited for three reasons - Kartik has mentioned multiple times that he wants to play grey characters and wants to do something like Baazigar and Don, Shashanka Gosh returning to a darker subject since Waise Bhi Hota hai, and Parveez Sheikh was recently involved with Darlings .

After watching this, it is obvious that Kartik said yes because he wanted to prove people that he can do more than what he is generally casted for.

Even if we ignore all the conveniences that are a part of thriller ( some a little too hard too ignore ) it is still too predictable especially if you have seen fida which I am sure was inspired by some other piece of work. The loner getting pushed around by the world is also getting a little tiring.

Though it is similar to fida, even considering the fact that it was Shahid's way of avoiding being typecast as the lover boy ( he failed in doing so, it was Kaminey where he truly broke that image) this is a much better movie, though that's not saying much. This makes me want to listen to the fida soundtrack.

This movie made me appreciate being cyrus a little more , the characters being parsi did not play much of a role in this movie, but being cyrus managed to be a decent thriller and felt true to the inner dynamics of the community.

The only portion where this movie is fun or worthwhile is the revenge section until the karjat portion, at least the portions are sort of stupid in a good way. The film has some moments where it seems it will get darker but they are way too few. At least the protagonist is truly grey and there is no attempt to sympathize with him.

This felt similar to last year in the sense that Night 2 had a better card going in but Night 1 was magical and Night 2 didn't live up, buuuuuut Night 2 had the triple threat main event which was easily one of the best matches and build last year which Night 2 did not.

The best build, 8 months with recurring Lesnar appearances, betrayals coupled with the fact this was the end of a feud which began 7 YEARS ago, this sure did disappoint, even more considering they had a great match in WrestleMania 31 when their personas were not beloved as well. Since then Lesnar became a major baby face and Reigns improved tons and then some, this disappointed. Night 1 left me on a high and feeling great this, considering the fact was the top feud needed a blood fight. Hey at least it was better than WrestleMania 34 encounter, a decent match in itself but didn't match up to the quality of the build.

Night 1 was a 9-9.5 show and Night 2 was 7-7.5 show hence settled on the screw it, I will watch the Zayn Knoxville match at least 10 more times. THIS EVENT WAS A LOT OF FUN.

Night 1 was great, Becky Vs Bianca may just be the greatest Women's match in MANIA history, Bianca has beaten two of the four horsemen at consecutive WrestleMania'as now. Cody vs Seth was magic and perfect. Great to see Stone Cold, KO bumped like a madman. Only Charlotte Vs Rhonda disappointed considering their Survivor Series match was sooo good, at least the finish was fine, Charlotte won in Flair fashion, her dad must be proud. Also hate to admit that Logan Paul gets it, he's a natural, the hard cam stares, raking in the heat, the athleticism.

Night 2 opened with a banger all the men involved did great, Lashley had a decent entry, Zayn vs KnoxVille was a lot of fun, my match of Night 2. PEAK SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT . Edge vs Styles was a dream match of mine that didn't live up to my expectations but was still good. Preist Edge is a good team but needs a third guy. Malakkai would have been great. I am guessing Ali or Dijakovic joins them. Hope we get Preist and Edge vs Finn and Styles.. Butch was the highlight of the other tag team match. Pat Mcafee is a bloody star, it's a case of an engaging personality overshadowing the match itself and well the one match that I was most hyped for sort of disappointed.

Overall definitely Stupendous and in my top 5 manias that I have seen in my 20 years of watching annually.
