So, continuing the series of reviewing movies and shows during the lockdown period, our today’s pick is the crime thriller One Day Justice Delivered directed by Ashok Nanda. The film is available on Netflix.

What’s it about?

Judge Tyagi(Anupam Kher) retires from his post and starts living a peaceful life. But behind this normal life, he runs a parallel court where he kidnaps those committed big crimes and wet let free by the court due to the lack of evidence. A number of big shots go missing and this crazy case is assigned to ACP Lasmi Rathi(Eesha Gupta). The rest of the story is as to how she nabs Judge Tyagi in his act.

What’s good?

The concept of the film is pretty good and has been nicely written. The proceedings start on a very interesting note and the first two kidnappings have been shot well. Anupam Kher is superb as the retired judge who commits all the crimes. The crime angle showcased in the film is good. Eesha Rebba is neat as the cop and so is the supporting cast. The second half has decent thrills and an emotional ending.

What’s bad?

After starting the film on a very interesting note, the proceedings become quite slow and dull. The interval part is also not that impressive. One has to wait until the last half an hour to understand what is actually happening in the film. Eesha Gupta Haryanvi accent is horrible and is a big turn off for the audience. Many logics go for a toss in the way the murders are showcased.

Final Word

Overall, One Day Justice Delivered is a crime thriller that has a very good plot but is marred by sloppy narration. Anupam Kher is top-notch with his performance and the film has some impressive kidnapping scenes. Apart from that, the film becomes slow and over the top in most parts making it a below-average watch during this lockdown.

What’s it about?

Sudheer(Sanjay Mishra) is a senior-most junior artist who has done 499 movies in the industry but no one knows about him. He lives a lonely life until one of his friends tells him to complete the 500th film and enter into the record books. Sudheer takes things seriously and once again makes a comeback in films and starts looking for that one film. Will he be successful in today’s crazy world of cinema? What kind of experiences does he face is the crux of the film.

What’s Good?

The story of the film itself is so unique. Director Hardik Mehta pays rich tribute to all the junior artists in the industry. The way he showcases how junior artists are treated even after being there in the industry for years. The best part of the film is the performance of lead actor Sanjay Mishra. He as the aged junior artist has done a superb job and the best part of the film. Sanjay is emotional, fun, and gives a memorable performance that stays with you even after the film is done. The way he suffers during the first day of the shoot is shown in a very realistic manner. The family emotions are very strong in the film.

What’s Bad

The film is devoid of all the commercial aspects and is a bit slow. The climax of the film could have also been better as the end looks a bit rushed.

Final Word

Overall, Kaamyaab is a heart-touching film about the life of a junior artist. Sanjay Mishra leads from the front and delivers a moving performance. As the duration of the film is also under two hours, this film is a must-watch during this lockdown for its unique theme and emotional narration. Don’t miss it.
