What Andhadhun is all about?
Akash (Ayushmann) is a Pune-based, visually-challenged pianist whose only dream is to fly to London and hone his music skills further. He’s ready to experiment with anything so that he can achieve his goal. However, he gets caught in a web and actually ‘witnesses’ a crime. In his attempt to leave the mess behind, he makes an escape bid. But it is not easy. Especially, because the restaurant owner’s daughter, Sophie (Radhika; Akash plays music at her father’s restaurant), is romantically drawn to him. Then, there is Simi (Tabu), the femme fatale wife of an ex-superstar Pramod Sinha (Anil Dhawan), who also has him ensnared in her net. Will the blind pianist make his way out or will he fail?
What’s good in the Movie?
AndhaDhun has so many twists that it would be almost impossible to say too much here without giving away the spoilers. So, suffice it to say, the film packs in enough mystery and thriller tone from the start. A hunter chasing a partially-blind rabbit through a forest is used as a metaphor for a visually-impaired man who is scampering around blindly. By now we all know Ayushmann Khurrana, is a blind man and his passion is to be a better pianist. The ray of sunshine with one liners of perfect timing is Radhika Apte. The surprise element is Tabu as a sensual, wannabe actress married to a star. The crimes have been planned and plotted well. Shot with no faults and scenes flow from one to next beautiful scene leaving you literally gasping. You go in and out of shots seeing what the blind man can’t see but knowing the actor is acting and yet wonder at the poker face. You are constantly breaking out in a sweat or laughing.
My Verdict and Rating of Andhadhun
AndhaDhun is a really good movie that you must watch in theaters. If you have grown up reading mystery/crime novels, don’t miss AndhaDhun. You will simply love it.
I am giving AndhaDhun 9 out of 10 for its wonderfully executed plot and an impressive climax.
