In Tamasha, filmmaker Imtiaz Ali raised the question- Why always the same story? And Tamasha was not the usual love story the trailer suggested it would turn out to be. A similar question could be asked to Anurag Kashyap. Manmarziyaan and Bombay Velvet were pleasant surprises and audacious choices but sadly failed to receive the recognition and response they deserved and he expected. Perhaps that's why he seems to have gone back to the genre that shaped him and gave his Cinema a voice- Noir.
Kashyap has presented this volatile love story that's nowhere close to being as dark as some of his previous works. It's been directed by Ranjan Chandel, who assisted him in Mukkabaaz, another story about ferociousness and fury. The battle of the protagonist was about love and career, in this drama, it's all about love and fragile egos. Paresh Rawal's son Aditya Rawal makes his debut as Nasir Jamal, a hot-headed ruffian who pretends as if he owns Allahabad, the city the tale is based in. South star Shalini Pandey (Arjun Reddy fame) and Vijay Varma essay Neelam and Jigar Fareedi, and as much as the three central characters attempt to infuse their roles with agony, a sense of familiarity plagues their conflicts.
