SCRIPT ANALYSIS

SCRIPT ANALYSIS

amazing films before this Stree & Bala – a hilarious horredy & a gut-busting dramedy. Now, when one comes back to a genre that they’ve already nailed before, it’s expected they’d return with the same team. 

SCRIPT ANALYSIS

Niren Bhatt writes the story, the screenplay & the dialogues, all by himself. Not at all saying, he has done a crappy job but it’s the balance that’s missing among the various departments. 

STAR PERFORMANCE

Varun in  his character stands for thoughts that ‘woke’ won’t agree with, Varun remains consistent throughout his act making you believe he follows whatever Bhaskar is saying. 

STAR PERFORMANCE

Abhisekh Banerjee  character majorly enjoys everything good that the story has to offer. With the kind of consistency this man has, he would never do a bad role in his life. 

STAR PERFORMANCE 

Paalin as the voice of Northeast, He does a tremendous job at both comedy & drama. His outburst scene about the inclusiveness of Northeast is a good mix of wokeness & humour performed equally well.

Deepak Dobriyal’s character could’ve been better but as Abhishek, even this man’s consistency is a no-match 

STAR PERFORMANCE 

STAR PERFORMANCE 

Kriti Sanon is good in her limited screen time but falls a victim to a poor character sketch. We’ve seen her ability to shock everyone in Mimi & this after that leaves a bit of a bitter aftertaste 

Direction, Music Review

If this would’ve been Amar Kaushik’s first film,We would have praised it a little bit more than what I did above but he has given us two of the most memorable films making this one look a little less appealing than those. 

FINAL WORDS

hediya delivers what it promises – howlarious one-liners, classy VFX, a few jumpscares & good performances but if you go looking beyond those promises, you won’t find anything substantial to add.
