Appearances
can
be
deceptive.
Somehow,
I've
not
been
able
to
connect
to
the
promos
of
Right
Yaaa
Wrong.
And
now,
after
I've
watched
the
film,
I
genuinely
feel
that
the
promos
don't
do
justice
to
this
taut
thriller.
Also,
I
had
strong
reservations
for
this
one.
Sunny
Deol,
an
A-lister
at
a
point
of
time,
had
slipped
into
oblivion
thanks
to
the
wrong
films
that
he
chose
to
act
in.
Two
factors
that
really
go
against
Right
Yaaa
Wrong.
But
never
judge
a
book
by
its
cover
[in
this
case,
its
promos].
For,
Right
Yaaa
Wrong
is
a
gripping
thriller
with
a
taut
courtroom
drama
that
catches
you
unaware
and
surprises
you,
especially
towards
its
post-interval
portions.
Come
to
think
of
it,
a
plot
like
Right
Yaaa
Wrong
is
not
easy
to
pen
and
narrate.
The
conflict
between
two
thick
friends
and
how
they
find
themselves
on
the
opposite
sides
of
the
law
ought
to
be
handled
with
gloves.
Most
importantly,
when
the
tension
reaches
its
peak,
the
culmination
has
to
be
razor-sharp
and
concurrently,
justify
both
the
sides'
point
of
view.
Fortunately,
Right
Yaaa
Wrong
hits
the
right
note.
So
what's
the
verdict?
Is
watching
this
fare
right
or
wrong?
It's
right,
I'd
say!
Ajay
[Sunny
Deol]
is
a
brave
cop.
An
unexpected
incident
takes
place
and
he
wants
his
wife
[Eesha
Koppikhar]
to
kill
him.
Will
a
wife
agree
to
kill
her
own
husband?
Why
does
Ajay
want
to
kill
himself?
Ajay
and
Vinay
[Irrfan
Khan]
were
the
best
of
friends,
but
an
intense
rivalry
leads
to
a
battle
for
supremacy.
A
dramatic
confrontation
ensues,
where
Vidya
[Konkona
Sen
Sharma],
Vinay's
sister,
chooses
to
support
Ajay
in
this
chase
of
mind
games
and
Vinay
has
to
fight
it
out.
Let's
face
it,
you
don't
take
to
Right
Yaaa
Wrong
at
the
outset.
The
initial
portions
give
an
impression
of
been-there-seen-that
to
the
viewer.
But,
gradually,
Right
Yaaa
Wrong
starts
getting
into
the
groove,
when
Sunny
hatches
a
conspiracy
of
his
death
and
asks
his
wife
and
brother
to
execute
his
plans.
The
interval
point
is
indeed
a
shocker!
The
film
takes
off
in
its
second
half,
when
Sunny
sticks
to
his
alibi,
while
Irrfan
doesn't
buy
Sunny's
statement
and
re-opens
the
case.
The
twists
and
turns
in
this
hour,
interspersed
with
courtroom
sequences,
which
leads
to
an
emotional
finale,
are
simply
spellbinding.
Director
Neerraj
Pathak
shows
immense
potential.
He
had
proved
his
credentials
as
a
writer
earlier
[Ghaath,
Pardes,
Apne],
but
with
Right
Yaaa
Wrong,
he
proves
he's
an
efficient
storyteller
as
well.
Monty's
music
is
strictly
functional
and
the
few
songs
in
the
narrative
don't
contribute
much.
Sunny
seems
to
get
it
right
this
time.
He
underplays
his
part
beautifully.
But
it
is
Irrfan
who
lights
fire
in
water
and
emerges
the
scene-stealer.
He's
excellent
all
through
the
second
hour.
Konkona
stages
an
entry
in
the
post-interval
portions
and
makes
a
stunning
impact
in
the
courtroom
sequences.
Eesha
Koppikhar
is
first-rate.
Arav
Chowdharry
[Sunny's
brother]
enacts
his
part
with
conviction.
On
the
whole,
Right
Yaaa
Wrong
is
a
powerful
thriller,
with
a
knockout
second
half.
However,
the
film
faces
strong
opposition
from
two
quarters
-
IPL
cricket
matches
and
the
ongoing
examination
period.
But
a
strong
word
of
mouth
should
change
the
tide
in
its
favour.
Go,
watch
it...
this
one's
a
pleasant
surprise!
