Judgementall hai kya's accomplishment is giving you a sense of uneasiness, uneasiness of acknowledging all that occurs in your head. The more uneasy you get by the probability of your irrationality actually happening, which also is given a room in this quirky movie.

Rajkummar Rao's big break expanding for over a couple of years in Bollywood is not taking a break. Kangana Ranaut known for her uncanny acting was having a roll essaying a role of a lifetime after a lukewarm Manikarnika.

The movie starts of with a death, a murder that looks like an accident, beautifully showing what the audience will brace for the rest of the running time. Bobby Grewal (Ranaut) who later becomes a film dubbing artist, grows up as a disturbed kid afflicted by poor parenting.

Keshav (Rao) and his wife Reema (Amyra Dastur) move in to Mumbai as Bobby's neighbours. Reema's mysterious death and the murkier circumstances shuttle suspicion on Keshav and Bobby, back and forth. 

The writing of Kanika Dhillon cannot be praised enough, as till the last scene, the movie never lets the audience determine the actual murderer, if at all you do, the next scene will disprove you. Bollywood will always be grateful for identifying such a virtuoso writer. Director Prakash Kovelamudi knows all the right spots to hinge the audience.

We are introduced to a psychological term 'disassociative identity disorder', the art direction has elevated this particular aspect. Especially, there is a mirror shot of Rajkummar Rao towards the fag end of the movie that will be hailed as an exemplary art direction.

Black comedy thriller is not a commonplace in India. The genre has been made justice to and also turns out to be a riveting watch for a hero-wins-villain-dies finetuned audience. Editing of Nitin Baid is so neat that you will be guilt-ridden if you turn your gaze at some point. Fear instilling background score for comedy scenes and farcical music for serious scenes embellishes this genre, very well done Daniel B. George!

The healthy trend of 2 hour terse movies with smart one-liners is good news for Indian cinema. This trend is on a sure footing with Judgementall Hai Kya.

Verdict: Judgementall Hai Kya - Hard to judge

Rating: 4/5
