Blind movie review: Sonam Kapoor is ineffective in deadly dull film

Quite soon into the film, the identity of the serial killer is revealed. The suspense is meant to come from the cat-and-mouse game between the killer and Gia. But Kapoor is wholly ineffective, and except for one sequence in which the killer is chasing her down buses, subways and the riverfront where you can feel real danger, this thing is deadly dull. The rest of the cast — Purab Kohli as a doctor with a dark side, Vinay Pathak as the always-chomping-on-fast-food desi sleuth, Shubham Saraf as an eye-witness to a crucial kidnap, and Lilette Dubey as the deeply religious maternal figure who believes everything will turn out fine — is wasted.

The Korean crime flick aesthetic of dark frames, mostly shot at night, has been borrowed wholesale here. This could have been a respectable thriller, but there is zero chill factor here.
