The biography of a psycho serial killer, 'Charles Shobraj'(Randeep Hooda), who's smart and a playboy, with a monk like attitude; who manages to escape from the prison in broad daylight shattering the police force of India.
The life of Charles is very interesting and has various layers to the character itself. But, the writing (Prawaal Raman) is not that compelling and the screenplay could've been much tighter and revealing. The director (Prawaal Raman) creates visually beautiful frames and the non-linear narrative style adds to the movie. He makes it stylish and the character stays with you. The film is visually good looking, thanks to the cinematographer(Anuj Dhawan) & art director (Jitendra Kava). I didn't liked the editing personally. Too much unnecessary jump cuts in between didn't worked for me. The story moves too fast at some places and so, storytelling isn't that smooth. Randeep Hooda adds that charm and mystery to the character, he looks dashing, adapts the accent very well and his rough voice adds to it and makes Charles Shobraj a stylish con-man & irre. Richa Chadda has a small part to play and she does it with ease. The police officer (Adil Hussain) plays his part damn good, also other actors have acted well.
A stylishly told serial killer flick set in 1960s.
Charles Shobraj's life is damn interesting, if you aren't aware of his life, do watch it for sure.
