The Radhika Apte-starrer thrills in some places, but remains predictable

It feels like the start of a Tisca Chopra cinematic universe.The story follows Smita (Radhika Apte) as she recounts the tale of a woman wronged by her husband Pankaj (Anshumaan Pushkar).

He cheats on her with her cousin Shalini (Sauraseni Maitra), but the affair ends in tragedy when the pair is found dead. Corrupt cop Ratan (Divyenndu) investigates, and uncovering their killer drives the rest of this gripping whodunit.
