{Acting, Dialogues, Screenplay }

The storyland of Kadak Singh is the city of Kolkata. Anirudh has written this story by dividing the screenplay of Kadak Singh into different stories. this story is about the main characters of the film having their own personalities about AK Srivastava and the events that happen in the life of the main character of this film.

Sakshi narrates her story to AK Srivastava, revealing that her relationship with her daughter and son has not been good. He doesn't give them time. He is immersed in his work and the investigation of the Rs 900 crore Golden Shine chit fund scam. The second story is narrated by his girlfriend Naina, which reveals their first meeting and their relationship. It also comes to light that AK Srivastava cares about his children, even if he does not tell them. Here the image of his responsible father emerges. The third story is narrated by AK's boss Tyagi. Through this story, the theory of AK's alleged suicide and his name being linked to the scam comes to light, which suggests that AK has some connection with the main accused in the scam. Pankaj Tripathi plays the double role of AK Srivastava. AK before the accident and AK after has succeeded in keeping both the personalities completely separate. The scene of Pankaj's argument with his daughter in public is excellent. Sanjana Sanghi is fine in the role of Sakshi....She has succeeded in portraying how the daughter, who is angry with her father, is trying to get to the bottom of the conspiracy against her after the accident. Dilip Shankar excels in the character of Tyagi who is always smiling. His personality adds to the mystery. Jaya Ehsaan has brought out the emotional side of the character of AK Srivastava's female friend Naina on screen with ease. The scenes of the first meeting with AK Srivastava in the restaurant are interesting...another character who impresses is that of the nurse Miss Kannan, played by Parvathy Thiruvothu. She has some important scenes with Pankaj Tripathi. Paresh Pahuja has played the character of Arjun very well.

{Verdict}

The film duration is 128-minute long film takes a while to pick up the pace....few of part bit slow but more griping the film story is four parts...which is largely depends on the acting of Pankaj Tripathi...It has been made exciting through the screenplay. Watching this film once will do justice to the film.
