When a meaningful actor turns into producer, there are some expectations raised and we expect good stuff, and that's what Anushka delivers here, just like Pari (though it was a latter production of hers), she is going into genres we are used to seeing in Hollywood only. A trip gone wrong type of movie ends up being in Bhoot Bungalow in most of Bollywood films, but this crime thriller is set in the backdrop of Haryana's honour killings and the script is straight forward and tight, doesn't go into unnecessary excess and though some critics wished for a more struggle-laden climax, it chooses not to be so and leaves aside any poetic component to it. I give it a 7.5/10, at times we are not in a mood to watch certain kinds of movies, and 1/4th into the movie I thought of some other options as I was maybe not in a mood to watch this particular type on a Saturday afternoon, but I stuck to it and I enjoyed it.
N.B: The director initially chose for Rajkumar Rao for the husband's role but eventually went for the look-alike Neil Bhoopalam, who did an equally good job though.
