One line review - "An unexpected and freaked out Thriller with Kartik Aaryan's Nafrat ka punchnama"
Review:
This film starts off as a regular film but slow and steady Karthik Aryan as Freddy nails it with a completely different avatar to his character. The first half builds up the introverted character of Freddy and his innocence and his love crush played by Aalaya F, everything seems lovely until a point but then the twist in the second half, Freddy's life transforms him and that's where the film starts getting even more interesting. The planning, plotting & his intelligence clubbed with super solid performance by Karthik Aryan makes it a worth taking ride. The dark shades to his character is spine chilling, Aalaya F has also done a good job rest follows the ensemble cast who has equally done an amazing job. Freddy is really an exceptional revenge thriller movie which will give you spine chill and thrill. I specifically love the scene of dancing after Murder and the Faluda scene in second half will really connect you.
Performance by Krishna pandit was really brilliant as Terrible parsi. English accent and Protein Shake and music and song's are really amazing and enjoyable. Background music of the movie will give you crazy and thrill response. Second half starts with craziness and ends with good and satisfying climax. Although story is not that new but showing in different and fresh manner was really fantastic. Screenplay was really well written and dialogues are really well written. Direction was decent and cinematography was also decent but you will enjoy the whole movie because of one man show Kartik Aaryan as Dentist Freddy Giniwala.
This thriller is a little slow paced and also at some points predictable but the way it goes and the characterisation of Karthik as Freddy is what adds more value to the film as an whole and it contributes to an amazing audience experience. There is a kind of curiosity built up as to what is going to happen and how is it going to happen, editing could have been a little better as the film feels a bit long for its plot. Overall this revenge saga is something you will love watching, definitely a worth watch.
