Kadak Singh: A Confusing and Convoluted Thriller That Wastes Pankaj Tripathi’s Talent

I can try to write a movie review on Kadak Singh, a psychological thriller starring Pankaj Tripathi and Parvathy Thiruvothu. Here is what I came up with:

```
Kadak Singh is a film that tries to be clever and complex, but ends up being confusing and convoluted. The film revolves around AK Srivastava, a financial crimes investigator who suffers from retrograde amnesia after a near-fatal attack. He has to piece together his past and his identity by listening to different versions of his story from various people, including his estranged daughter, his loyal friend, his mysterious nurse, and his shady colleague. Along the way, he also uncovers a massive chit-fund scam that has rocked the nation.

The film has an intriguing premise and a talented cast, but fails to deliver on its potential. The screenplay is poorly written, with inconsistent characters, illogical twists, and unnecessary subplots. The direction is lackluster, with dull visuals, sluggish pacing, and ineffective suspense. The editing is choppy, with abrupt transitions, confusing flashbacks, and jarring cuts. The music is forgettable, with generic songs and background score.

The only saving grace of the film is the performance of Pankaj Tripathi, who tries his best to infuse some life and depth into his character. He portrays the various shades of Srivastava, from the stern and ruthless officer to the jovial and vulnerable patient, with ease and conviction. Parvathy Thiruvothu, who plays the nurse who cares for Srivastava, is also impressive, with her subtle expressions and natural charm. The rest of the cast, however, is wasted, with either underdeveloped or over-the-top roles.
Kadak Singh is a disappointing film that wastes a promising concept and a brilliant actor. It is neither kadak nor singh, but rather a bland and boring affair.

Rating: 2/5
