Is this a circus?
00:01
Isha Gupta, who plays a fierce cop in the thriller One Day Justice Delivered,
00:06
asks her male colleague after she exits her prison cell after pummeling a guy brutally.
00:12
That's one thought that enters our mind as an audience when we watch this thriller
00:17
starring Anupam Kher and Gupta, who's terribly miscast in this film.
00:21
We have Anupam Kher who plays the role of Justice Tyagi who goes rogue when he realises
00:31
that he has not been successful in sentencing criminals through his career.
00:36
So he decides to turn into a superman where he turns into a vigilante who commits a series
00:42
of kidnappings across the city.
00:44
Is it bizarre?
00:45
Yes, it is.
00:46
And is the pace languid?
00:47
Yes, it is.
00:48
Anupam Kher plays this very unassuming, gracious judge who feels he's not been very successful
00:54
at putting criminals behind bars.
00:56
So what does he do after retirement?
00:58
He makes a living then by committing a series of kidnappings and trying to torture them
01:02
to give out a confession of sorts through brutal methods.
01:07
Police brutality is glorified in this film and absolutely there's no case of retribution
01:12
to any of the players in this film.
01:15
Anupam Kher, who plays such a soft-spoken, unassuming character suddenly becomes this
01:19
superman.
01:20
Is it convincing?
01:21
Not so much.
01:22
One of the main problems that I have with the movie is the casting of Isha Gupta.
01:27
I think she's beautiful and she dances like a dream.
01:30
But the problem here is she's not very convincing as a fierce cop.
01:34
The moment she starts breaking into a dialect in Hindi, it just seems so wrong.
01:40
In fact, she just does not have the talent to convince us otherwise that she's not just
01:45
all about glamour.
01:46
In fact, her introductory scene is her playing a seductress at a nightclub in Kolkata.
01:52
We're told it's an undercover operation and she's there to nab a criminal.
01:57
But I have a feeling that the director had in mind was to commercialize this movie by
02:01
showcasing her beautiful, bodacious body and also gyrating her hips.
02:06
It just did not make much sense to have a police officer who's out to clean the grime
02:12
in the city and crime in the city suddenly break out into a song and dance.
02:16
It wasn't very convincing at all.
02:18
And also the director, Ashok Nanda, has this propensity to add titillating numbers into
02:23
the mix.
02:24
It's supposedly a dark, taut thriller about a judge turning into a vigilante who has this
02:31
ambition of cleaning the city of criminals.
02:33
He feels as if he was inefficient as a judge and therefore tries to make up by orchestrating
02:39
a series of unlawful activities.
02:42
In terms of performances, it's only Kher and Kumud Mishra.
02:45
He's a seasoned actor who plays Isha Gupta's colleague who's convincing.
02:51
Those are the two saving graces in this otherwise insipid film.
02:55
In fact, how does Anupam Kher gallivant around kidnapping people without any help or how
03:01
does nobody notice this family man turn into a superman is something that remains a mystery.
03:07
As far as the verdict goes for this movie, it's not so favourable.
03:11
I've gone with 2 out of 5.
