You know something is very wrong right from the brilliant opening montage of Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar (Sandeep and Pinky On the Run),a story about two chance expendables running for their life. The brilliance lies in the writing here which gives you enough to stay invested and rooting for the characters, each of who are played by talented actors. It's a slow burn but it never crescendoes into what you would expect (adding to the fun),but Parineeti Chopra and Arjun Kapoor put up a show that can very well be termed a holy homecoming. Watch it.

Review By Kamal K
Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar is a slow burner & grow on you with time! By the time film reached to climax, you are completely in awe of Dibakar Banerjee's world. It's totally unpredictable from start to finish. Yes! There are issues with pacing, and I felt like a lot was let unexplained or untied, but great performances specially by Raghuvir Yadav, as a typical conservative uncle with a liking for surgical strike makes it a worth watch. Also the inversion of gender dynamics works really well, and even though maybe they could have casted better actors I think both Arjun and Parineeti delivered their career best performances in this film. Thanks to Dibakar Banerjee for bringing out the actors in both of them. And BTW, the 'Faraar' track sung by Anu Malik is a Banger.
Overall, This Film is Definitely a good One-Time Watch.

Don't go for false hatred! The name Dibakar banerjee is enough
Parineeti Chopra just gave the best performance of her career. Talking about Arjun Kapoor, he gave a decent performance. It's a Dibakar banerjee movie which you shouldn't miss. Best Bollywood movie of this year.
