Andhadhun -A movie review

 'Andha' is Hindi word which means blind. However, :andhadhun'  means reckless.(The movie is inspired from a French story I) In the context of this movie, Andha + Dhun can also mean a blind person's tune because 'dhun' means tune in Hindi!

interesting premise - a blind young man witnesses a murder. He runs to the police station and confesses he is not blind and tries to report the murder but pauses and tries to escape the police station when he notices that the police inspector is the one who might have committed the murder!

The blind young man is an expert piano player and was invited to play at a retired Bollywood actor's home where he witnesses the dead body of the actor and the police officer hiding in the bathroom with a pistol in his hand. The police officer is having an extra marital affair with the actor's wife, you see! The two do not yet know that the young piano player is not blind.Meanwhile, a 10 year old neighbor has his doubts about the piano player's blindness and uses his phone and a tall stick to spy on the piano player.

Tabu is the main bad guy in the movie - she throws a neighbor to her death from an upper floor. The neighbor had witnessed the husband enter the apartment but never exit. Tabu is the one who was having the affair with the police inspector. The other female character is a young girl who falls in love with the young blind man until she discovers that he is not blind.

Ayushmann Khurana plays the blind young man to perfection and manages to fool the audience for a large part of the movie until the 10 year old neighbor exposes him. Tabu plays the very scary murderess like we have never seen in Bollywood ! The director could have skipped the attempted stealing of body part of the young blind man for another movie. How will anyone trust a  auto rickshaw driver in Mumbai again after watching this movie?!

The movie looks realistic because it is made inside a real residential building!
