The film revolves around Saagar Hussain (Rajpal Yadav) who is an undertrial prisoner at the Central Jail। He is accused by his own wife for continuously raping his own daughters across a period of 8 years and also conspiring to murder them। The last eye witness to testify against Saagar is his own wife Sameena (Monica Castelino) who wants to ensure that Saagar gets the worst punishment available। What looked like an “open and shut” case turns take a twist when famous lawyer Ravi Vishnoi(Kader Khan) decides to fight Saagars case। What unravels next is a deep conspiracy revealing itself layer after layer. Is Saagar Hussain guilty or innocent? Is he a man or a monster?
Given the movie was inspired by a “true” story one would’ve expected something with a lot of substance from the makers, however sadly this is not the case. I guess the keyword to note here is “inspired” which means the makers have taken bits of fact and merged it with their own fiction. The first half of the movie shows Saagar in his everyday jail life as he waits for his case to go to court. The sequences of events here are boring and prove no actual purpose in the movie. Some of the scenes seem forced to evoke comedy which seems juvenile in a film of this nature. In between there are some superb moments, mainly the interactions between Saagar Hussain and his inmate (Mukesh Tiwari). Also the few flashbacks which unravel Saagars past have been captured well. The actual movie doesn’t start from the second half when Kader Khan enters the scene as Saagars lawyer.
The momentum and एक्ष्कितेment does pick up as the “truth” is revealed about Saagar Hussain, his wife and his daughters .
The court case is exciting enough for 30 minutes or so, however after a while that too loses momentum and becomes monotonous। Some of the scenes seem greatly exaggerated and totally over-the-top, while others just downright boring। The climax sequence with the murder being captured on the cell phone is hard to digest at all
