Comedy Noir thanks to Pares Raval Another diamond from Paresh Raval is the enjoyment of his playing and his character from the first to the last shot. Facial expressions, gestures, body language - throughout the film he was in character. And this is despite the fact that he shared the set with such outstanding actors as Nasiruddin Shah, Boman Irani and Om Puri, who also stand out for their theatrical and academic play, that is, they get used to their character completely and use all the possibilities of the body (gait, recognizable gesture, grin) to emphasize the traits of their character.
The mood of the film is very reminiscent of English detectives (after I learned that the film is partially inspired by the novel by James Hadley Chase), it feels like there are no unnecessary scenes, unnecessary characters, dances / fights / jokes. Everything is logical and based on the psychology of people, not the desire to laugh or scare the viewer. At the same time, I sat in tension from beginning to end, because sometimes suddenly the plot turns and goes in the other direction than the viewer assumes. Timekeeping is not prolonged, there is not a single sag, the pace of the film is calibrated and everything is logical and reasonable. However, even in a crime film with a slight touch of noir, Paresh Raval managed to make a comedic component with his flawless image of a simpleton driver, who actually turns out to be not as simple as it seems to others. When the rest of the characters turn away, the bewildered-stupid expression of his face is replaced by a smile of superiority and understanding of who is actually the puppeteer.
