Kahani (Premise)
Kiran Malhotra (Sonakshi Sinha) ek bestselling author hai — pehli kitab hit thi, doosri atak gayi hai. Mussoorie ke pahadi ghar me, pati Riyaan Malhotra (Ankit Gupta) ke saath uski shaadi bhi utni smooth nahi chal rahi: use shak hai ki Riyaan use dhokha de raha hai, aur apne pita Mahesh Mittal (Purnendu Bhattacharya) se bhi uske rishte me khichav hai.
Tab use ek purana flip phone milta hai. Ek galat number — ya shayad kismat — use Samar Khurana (Zaheer Iqbal) se jod deta hai. Baat-cheet me pata chalta hai ki dono ek hi duniya me nahi reh rahe: Kiran 2026 me hai, Samar 2016 me. Jo shuru me ek ajeeb, dilchasp connection lagta hai, wo dheere-dheere ek khatarnaak obsession me badal jaata hai — aur Samar ke paas Kiran par aisa leverage hai jo uski zindagi bana ya bigaad sakta hai.
Performances
Sonakshi Sinha (Kiran Malhotra) — critics ke mutabik ye film unki hai. FPJ ne unke kaam ko “decent” kaha — darr aur anxiety ko shuru me thoda intangible tareeke se nibhaya, par confidence aur conviction ne character ko sambhal liya. Filmfare ne unke arc ki tareef ki: vulnerable writer se lekar determined fighter tak ka safar film ka emotional centre hai.
Zaheer Iqbal (Samar Khurana) — sabse divided performance. Filmfare ke mutabik unhone Samar ki darkness ko soft kiye bina nibhaya — stalker ko romantic hero banane ki koshish nahi ki, jo is film ka sahi faisla hai. Par FPJ ke mutabik wo “a set box of expressions” me atke lagte hain — intense role mila, par range wahi ki wahi rahi.
Supporting cast — Ankit Gupta (Riyaan) ko FPJ ne convincing bataya; Purnendu Bhattacharya (pita) aur Zarina Wahab (Samar ki maa) film me obsession ke collateral damage ko dikhate hain; Sherlin Seth (Sakshi) bhi cast me hain.
Direction Aur Technical Side
Writer-director Karan Rawal ka premise hi film ki sabse badi taakat aur sabse badi kamzori dono hai. BH (2.5/5) ke mutabik story “unexpected and full of twists” hai aur first half me narrative hook karta hai — pehle 15 minute me hi ek aisa angle aata hai jo conventional stalker story ki ummeed tod deta hai. Par wahi BH kehta hai ki second half me “writing loses steam” aur dialogues ordinary hain.
Scroll ne screenplay ko “technically solid” aur 125 minute tak tension bana hua bataya, par usi review me sabse zaroori sawaal utha: Samar ke prati empathy dikhana — uski toxicity ko samajhne ki koshish — “always troubling” hai, kyunki obsession ko love samajhne ki galti film khud bhi kabhi-kabhi kar deti hai. The Federal ne to film ko “lifeless despite a fun premise” kehkar aesthetics ko decade-purana bataya.
Technical team me cinematography Utkarsh Marulkar ki hai, editing Atanu Mukherjee ki, background music Advait Nemlekar aur Shalom Benjamin ka hai, aur gaane OAFF, Savera aur Ritik Chauhan ke hain.
Release Se Pehle Ka Drama
Is film ki release ki kahani bhi film jaisi hi uljhi hui hai — aur ye context samajhna zaroori hai, kyunki isne film ki buzz ko seedha nuksaan pahunchaya:
- Shooting 2024 me poori ho gayi thi, par copyright infringement ke legal dispute ki wajah se film atak gayi.
- 19 Oct 2026: Bombay High Court ne ₹8.85 crore deposit ka order diya aur film ke release/exploitation par rok lagi.
- 22 Oct 2026: Dispute internally resolve hua — producers Vishal Rana aur Sarvesh Goel ke statements aaye.
- 23 Oct 2026: Film theatres me release hui — par zero buzz ke saath, kyunki trailer aur marketing ko waqt hi nahi mila.
Isliye Day-1 ka disastrous opening sirf film ki quality ki kahani nahi hai — ye ek aisi film ki kahani hai jo court se seedha theatres me pahunchi, bina audience ko bataye ki wo aa rahi hai.
Critics Aur Audience Kya Keh Rahe Hain
- Positive camp: Filmfare 3/5 (“stalker thriller with paranormal twist”); BH 2.5/5 (“stands out” — first half aur twists ki tareef); Scroll positive-leaning (technically solid, tension bani rehti hai).
- Negative camp: IE 1 star (“hare-brained… eye-rolls”); FPJ 2 stars (“convoluted treatment to a brilliant plot”); IndiaForums 2/5 (“lost in a maze of plot holes”); The Federal negative (“lifeless despite a fun premise”).
- Common ground: Sabhi is baat par sehmat hain ki premise brilliant hai aur screenplay uska saath nahi deti — yehi film ka central divide hai.
Consensus: ~2/5 — idea bada, execution uljha hua. Isi par hamari final rating 4/10 hai.
Box Office: Day-1 Final
- Day-1 final (Sacnilk): ₹0.14 cr net, India gross ₹0.15 cr.
- Doosre estimates: Pinkvilla ₹10 lakh net (“disaster on arrival” — Tum Mere Ho aur Pehla Pyaar Doosri Baar se bhi kam); FPJ ₹14 lakh net / ₹15 lakh gross.
- TrackTollywood detail (NDTV Profit): Day-1 gross ₹15.86 lakh, 499 shows, 6.7% occupancy, 5,386 tickets, average ticket price ₹294. Sheher-wise: Mumbai ₹3.50 lakh, Delhi ₹2.63 lakh, Pune ₹1.16 lakh. PVR, INOX aur Cinepolis ka hissa ₹12.96 lakh (81.7%).
- Context: Sonakshi Sinha ne 2016 me Akira ko ₹5 crore net par khola tha — tab wo kharab maana gaya tha, aaj wo excellent hota. Isse pata chalta hai ki chhoti films ke liye theatrical window kitna mushkil ho gaya hai (Pinkvilla).
Kiske Liye Hai Ye Film
- Time-travel/premise-driven thriller pasand karne wale: Idea ke liye ek baar dekh sakte ho — par expectations low rakhkar jao.
- Sonakshi Sinha ke fans: Unka arc film ka sabse strong hissa bataya ja raha hai.
- Darr (1993) ke deewane: Title aur theme ka connection tumhe interesting lagega — par ye Darr jaisi tight thriller nahi hai.
- Tight script chahne wale: OTT ka intezaar karo — critics ka consensus yehi kehta hai.
- Bachchon ke saath jaane wale: UA16+ hai — stalking/obsession themes ke saath ye family film nahi hai.
