The story follows Meera (Anushka Sharma) and Arjun (Neil Bhoopalam), a young, affluent, and modern couple living a comfortable life in the Gurgaon suburb of Delhi. In a world of high-rises and multinationals, they feel untouchable, insulated by their privilege. After a close call with a group of molesters, Arjun procures a handgun for protection, a seemingly small act that will have catastrophic consequences.
There is no mustache-twirling supervillain here. The antagonists, led by a chilling Darshan Kumar, are a brotherhood of honor-bound killers. What makes them scary isn't that they are monsters; it’s that they believe they are righteous. They discuss killing the couple with the same casual tone they’d use to discuss crop prices. The film holds a mirror to the horrific reality of khap panchayats and mob mentality in rural India without feeling like a lecture. nh10 -2015-
