Milan Luthria directs this film and handles it pretty well for the most part. The story is strong except for a few unfathomable turns, and it is multi-layered bringing in many interesting sub-plots, like that of Rihana’s dwindling filmi fortunes and Shoaib’s patient lover. On the negative side it suffers from some shoddy editing and falters a little on the pace, moving a tad slow. Thus it is not as crisp as Company (and I compare this with Company, since it is so strongly the same genre, and features the same lead protagonist), nor is it swift and smart like Maqbool. It is rather like a staid, plodding animal, but so devoted and intent on it’s purpose that you can’t help but pay attention to it.
