Expectations
are
definitely
high
from
Sudhir
Mishra
who
has
given
Bollywood
masterpieces
like
Jaane
Bhi
Do
Yaaron
(writer),
Hazaaron
Khwahishein
Aisi
(director/writer),
Is
Raat
Ki
Subha
Nahin
(director/writer)
and
he
won't
let
you
down
this
time
also
with
his
latest
flick
Inkaar.
Inkaar
is
a
well-crafted
script
with
an
intriguing
back-and-forth
narrative
and
power
packed
performances
by
Arjun
Rampal
and
Chitrangada
Singh.
Story
Rahul
Varma
(Arjun
Rampal)
is
the
CEO
of
an
advertising
agency,
who
is
accused
of
sexual
harassment
by
his
colleague
Maya
Luthra
(Chitrangada
Singh).
In
a
series
of
flashbacks,
you
will
get
to
know
that
Rahul's
hard
work
and
the
values
inherited
by
his
father
has
made
him
what
he
is
today.
Maya
Luthra
(Chitrangada
Singh)
is
a
small
town
girl
who
wants
to
make
it
big
in
life.
Rahul
meets
Maya
at
an
advertising
festival,
and
offers
her
a
job
in
his
agency.
Maya
soon
leaves
her
small
town
and
reaches
Mumbai
to
work
with
Rahul.
Rahul
mentors
Maya
and
nurtures
her
to
get
to
the
post
of
the
National
Creative
Head
of
the
same
agency.
Soon
the
two
come
too
close
on
a
business
trip
in
Thailand.
What
follows
later
is
a
story
full
of
suspense,
drama,
contradictions
and
conflicts.
So,
whose
story
would
you
believe
-
Maya's,
who
blames
Rahul
for
sexually
harassing
her,
or
Rahul's
who
claims
Maya
has
used
her
sexual
charm
to
move
up
the
corporate
ladder?
Performances
The
actors
do
complete
justice
to
their
brilliantly
etched
out
characters.
Inkaar
is
a
tight
slap
on
Arjun
Rampal's
critics
face
who
say
that
the
actor
can't
act.
He
has
given
an
outstanding
performance
in
the
movie.
And
this
is
definitely
Arjun's
best
performance
by
far.
On
the
other
hand,
Chitrangada
Singh
is
definitely
someone
to
watch
out
for.
She
is
a
complete
natural
and
is
splendid
in
her
performance.
The
supporting
actors
-
Vipin
Sharma,
Deepti
Naval
and
Gaurav
Dwivedi
have
also
performed
brilliantly.
Music
Shantanu
Moitra's
music
does
full
justice
to
the
movie.
The
background
score
heightens
the
impact
of
several
sequences
and
songs
like
'Maula
tu
malik
hai',
'Darmiyan',
etc.,
are
really
melodious
to
hear.
Verdict
Inkaar
has
a
good
story
that
holds
you
till
the
end.
But
it's
doubtful
whether
you
wanna
walk
back
in
for
another
viewing
mainly
because
of
its
climax.
In
a
nut
shell,
it's
good
for
a
one
time
watch
for
Sudhir
Mishra's
knack
of
storytelling
and
brilliant
performances
from
its
actors.
