My Rating: 4/5



'Andhadhun' is a gripping tale of a budding, visually-challenged pianist whose presence at the crime scene when a couple of murders are committed, makes this a unique suspense-thriller. The opening hooks you and the brilliant storytelling keeps you glued to your seat. The unpredictable characters surprise you throughout the movie, but they never seem out-of-character!
Ayushman Khurrana looks fabulous and delivers one of his finest performances 😍. Radhika Apte shines too. Anil Dhawan excels in his brief role as a yesteryear filmstar. The lottery-seller Marathi mausi's portrayal has a 'Bob Biswas-like' sinister thrill to it :). To top it all, the versatile Tabu stuns you with her delightfully devilish performance as Simi.
Though I loved the movie, I feel that the 10 minutes before the last scene were vague and hurried-up. But that doesn't take anything away from the remaining 2 hours of fast-paced action, thrill, and suspense. Brilliant dialogues, soulful piano recitals, a nostalgic piano tribute to Bollywood at the end of the movie - kudos to Sriram Raghavan for this edgy, unforgettable thriller.
