Directed by Sriram Raghavan, the Hindi film was released in 2018 and received widespread appreciation for its intriguing narrative. It is now trending once again on JioHotstar, drawing the attention of viewers who enjoy suspense-filled crime dramas.

The story follows Akash (Ayushmann Khurrana), a talented pianist who pretends to be visually impaired while pursuing his musical ambitions. His life takes an unexpected turn after he meets Sophie (Radhika Apte), who helps him get an opportunity to perform at a restaurant. There, he becomes acquainted with former actor Pramod Sinha (Anil Dhawan), who invites him home to perform for his wife, Simi (Tabu). However, Akash soon finds himself caught in a murder mystery filled with secrets, deception and shocking twists. Director Sriram Raghavan keeps the suspense alive with a tightly written screenplay and an engaging blend of dark comedy. Ayushmann delivers a convincing performance, while Tabu stands out with her portrayal of the complex and unpredictable Simi. Radhika Apte also makes a strong contribution. Amit Trivedi’s music and Daniel B. George’s background score further enhance the film’s atmosphere. The movie was later remade in Telugu as ‘Maestro’, starring Nithiin.
