Got to experience a different kind of film, the best thing about it is that its simplicity.
Sanjay ji never disappoints with his acting and so is with Neena madam, seeing both of them together gives a different experience in itself.
Even if there is no great twist in the film but its performance and the slow progress of the story seems very good, many people will compare it with Drishyam and add names, but it is wrong.
Yes, I agree that the method of the story is similar, but its story and characters.
The acting keeps us connected in a different way and gives us fun.
Worth Watch, personally I Loved the Story and Acting.

- Review of Vadh - itsbymayank - Mayank Bharat Bhushan Louteriya.
The story is simple..very simple. A father takes loan for his son's better career in USA with a loan shark. He needs to break the shackle and he does in an unconventional way. However, the way sanjaya mishra and neena gupta perform as a parent you will feel the story is very near to you. In fact in your neighborhood. There is nothing in the story seems out of line. The tight script is the heart of the story.
I was wondering through youtube and came to know about "Checkovs gun" while writing a script . Here in this movie please focus on "Manohar Kahaniya" that sanjay mishra reads and sleeps while reading. The book keeps on coming in the story and O boy the director has used that prop so beautifully through out the movie.
A worthful watch.

Vadh is a crime drama thriller film directed by jaspal singh sandhu and rajeev barnwal.
Sanjay mishra pulls a lifetime of a performance in this film. He is literally, the subtlest of actors i have seen. He plays a retired teacher with utmost sincerity, even his body had the marks of poverty. Neena gupta, though animated at times, does fairly well. Her chemistry with him was good. Manav vij and specially saurabh sachdeva shine throughout. Saurabh brings that madness in this otherwise calm and steady film. The assistant to manav's character was obnoxious, also given a petline which he says after almost every line.
The screenplay is impeccable in the first half but gets messy in the second. The setup in the first half is so strong that you want more from it in the latter. But in the second half, the investigation sets in which is written weak and gets resolved too quickly. The chekov's gun which was the first scene of the film was impactful, but the end feels rushed.
The background score is throbbing and impactful, clearly letting us feel the tension. But the cinematography is outstanding. Every shot of the noir genre is put to great use here. The scene in which lights go out after the perpetrator is killed is a brilliant one, the use of light and shadow was so pleasing. The ambiguity that sets in the second half was reminiscent of badlapur. The sound design too, was too true. The scene of cutting the pieces was really very violent. The metaphors of the perpetrator with the mice was good.
I rate it 9.

The story brings with it the nostalgia of classic Hindi literature, the scenes from the filming location depict the reality of a large majority of Indians, the pace with which the story develops & the turns it takes at several key moments are truly enjoyable, especially for someone who either comes from or wishes to understand the India that is.
In times when entertainment has been limited to short outbursts of senseless titillations, bringing out a story that doesn't offer it, is simple, slow, predictable & yet, is moving, realistic & thought provoking is commendable.
Acting of all characters especially the protagonist makes the movie all the more alive & a good example of how slow building movies can be a great watch.
