Writing/Direction:
The reason why this movie is illogical is it starts with Simran’s character’s intelligence. She has negative IQ. First things first, if you go blind does your brain stop working? No. But maybe in the case of this movie it does. I rewatched the movie to see if she knows what he sounds like and she does in that first scene. And she does.
Let’s talk honestly
- If you disliked someone that much, wouldn’t you do everything in your power to know exactly what they look and sound like to stay away at all times? If she really hated him that much then how come she doesnt know that its him and recognize his voice. This is biggest logical flaw in the movie. Not only this movie I had same problem in Bodyguard. Now we are living in the world of AI which they used in MAD movie so it made sense but in that movie she just talks and then Venky has no idea its the same person and hes superseded to be best bodyguard in India. But he doesnt have a brain either
