The Taxi Driver vibes are strong with this one! But I hope the movie has its own unique voice. Radhika always chooses interesting projects so I'm optimistic.

While I love Radhika's acting, I'm not sure about the poster design. The colors feel a bit too bright compared to the dark mood they're going for. Just my opinion though!

Black comedy about Mumbai life? Count me in! The local train scenes alone will be worth watching. Hope they capture the city's real vibe.
