Kadak Singh review: Psychological thriller with Pankaj Tripathi

Kadak Singh review: Pankaj Tripathi is a standout in Anirudh Roy Chaudhry’s latest thriller Kadak Singh. The story of Kadak Singh is a human narrative and a thriller about how individuals in authority use you for their gain.

They invent stories to frame you, trap you, or even push you to take your life. Kadak Singh’s movie is a real and relatable movie. It does not transfer you to a fantasy universe where people seem made up only to prove a point. Kadak Singh’ is a story of love, trust, relationships, and betrayal. Pankaj Tripathi became the soul of the film.

Kadak Singh’s movie smoothly highlights the current issues of mental health and suicidal tendencies among people. The admiration goes to the movie’s writer who didn’t overplay this aspect but kept it to the point where the problem was recognized and discussed.

Kadak Singh is a feel-good picture that keeps it as raw and honest as possible while avoiding unnecessary drama. It makes you cry, laugh, and think about things in life that we frequently overlook.

Viraf Sarkari, Ritesh Shah, and Chowdhury co-wrote this film story. A series of flashbacks appear and disappear each time a new character tells their point of view to Kadak.

This film is snappy and doesn’t feel dragging at 127 minutes. The unpredictable storytelling appears to interrupt the narrative at times. But this is where the film seeks to engage you and keep you from looking elsewhere.
