Simmering, intense and just short of a perfect thriller.

State of the current situation of media hungry corporates that twist the truth for TRP.

The threat is just a way to expose the greedy news anchors and exposes what really happens in a world where truth is twisted for power, money and fame.

Kartik Aaryan comes out of his goody goody image of a lover boy with a smirk, and adds a punch to some serious histrionics, believable and at your face. His intense face tears you apart and makes you root for him. Though he would have deserved a better ending, but nevertheless he hits the ball out of the park.

Amruta Subhash as the power hungry, no nonsense boss of a news channel makes you cringe at a portrayal of a riled up monster. But she did show the right face of news media.

We could have done away with the mushy personal angle of the lives of the Pathaks, but it ends up very well.

Noteworthy is the man behind the threats - When he reveals his identity, you root for him. His end adds up to the overall trauma.

Have not seen the original Korean one, but for the Indian audience, this is the best Sunday afternoon smasher 👍👍
