On the whole, Vadh is an entertaining fare. But since it does not have any young lead actors, its climax is simplistic and it moves on a single track, its performance at the turnstiles will not be impressive. Having said that, it will definitely be remembered as a good film. It will also win critical acclaim.

Sanjay Mishra and Neena Gupta’s Vadh, slated to open in theatres on December 9, is a passable thriller that works in parts but fails to do justice to its inherently engaging plot. The film revolves around Shambhunath Mishra, a schoolmaster who leads an uneventful life with his wife Manju (Neena Gupta). He is constantly harassed by a loan shark named Prajapati Pandey (Saurabh Sachdeva), something that he deeply resents.Shambhunath’s world is turned upside down when he commits a crime under unusual circumstances. The rest of the film revolves around his attempts at covering his tracks and staying out of jail.

The film is brutal and gory. Not just a person is killed with a screwdriver but is also chopped into pieces and then burnt. This might leave a certain section of the audience a little disturbed .Lastly, the title of the film ‘Vadh’ has not been completely justified. The word ‘Vadh’ has something noble, purer connect to it. The scene in which Sanjay’s character justifies ‘Vadh’ does not look satisfactory. For instance, ‘Nayay’ (justice) looks so much more perfect for the movie than ‘Vadh’.

‘Vadh’ plays out like a Manohar Kahani, a pulpy tale of murder, where an unlikely killer does away with a bad guy in the most gruesome manner possible. An investigating cop (Manav Vij) and a local hoodlum have their hands in the till, too. The killing is vividly realised, especially because it happens off screen. We can hear it, and that makes it worse. But what we don’t get is nuance

The final scene is heartbreaking. They have won a battle, but at the cost of losing what belonged to them. They are no longer haunted, but also leave behind what they call memories. And we exit with these conflicted emotions, to smile or not to smile. Rarely a film instills such contrasting thoughts.

The film starring Sanjay Mishra and Neena Gupta in lead roles, will definitely make you emotional but at the same time, it will raise several questions about laws, our society, and whether can killing be justified. The story of Vadh revolves around a middle-aged schoolmaster Sahmbunath and his wife Manju who struggle to pay the loan that was taken for their son’s education. Now, their son, who is well settled in the US, doesn’t want to repay the loan, and he is least interested in knowing his parents’ problems.

The film has nuances that will need you to stay sharp while viewing. For instance, pay attention to the dialogue and the props in the scene when a rat escapes the live-catch mousetrap, which Shambhunath replaces with a spring-loaded one. You will see the parallels between that sequence and Prajapati being slayed. After a point, the first half gets slow at points and Prajapati harassing the couple could have been shorter. But the second half is thrilling to the core. Those who like realistic cinema and thrillers will have a great viewing experience.
