What Works?
- Alfred Hitchcock after a long time and what a miss it has been! There is something extra-ordinary about him. While so many others tirelessly try complex stuff to captivate audience, Hitchcock, as if he kids them all away, comes up with a simple narration of an atrociously humourous thriller and captivates!
- The 5 prominent artistes casually converse and get the viewer's attention! A lot of it has to do with their simple reactions and nonchalant camerawork and engaging and witty dialogues!
- The dark humour works brilliantly in some important scenes and the suspense is well-maintained till the very end of the film!
A weird one-liner made into a humour-filled thriller! No trouble watching this Harry!
