Not much action is shown and yet we know the scale of violence that is rampant in the area. Later on in the film, the screenplay (Masurkar and Mayank Tiwari) touches upon yet another important aspect of the lopsided power equations that are at play in far-flung parts of the country where indigenous ways of life and languages are under constant majoritarian threat. This team, except Malko, didn’t expect how bad could be the ground reality. It’s just that, in real life, not everybody has a similar free fall the way Newton predicted. Call the humour what you will - outright black, slyly sardonic or out-and-out confrontational - the real eureka moments of this delectably free-flowing, brilliantly written and wonderfully well-acted film spring from its seemingly more innocuous tics, which articulate the dark truths that the powers-that-be and the Mumbai movie industry's 'status quo' cinema would rather not confront.The defining image that ends the film's opening sequence is that of a life-size cutout of a political leader swaying feebly in the wind.
