The film opens with a sequence that makes sense only in the climax: a man aims his gun at a blind rabbit in a cabbage patch. The rabbit runs for its life, just like the pianist Akash (Ayushmann Khurana) will over the course of the next two-plus hours. Sriram:The idea was to have the metaphor of a blind rabbit being hunted, since we will later meet ...
The film’s title is an invented word and a pun on ‘Andha dhund’, or blind fog. ‘Andhadhun’ literally translates into blind tune. The title reflects the tensions between Akash’s attempts to compose the perfect musical score and the disorder that clings to him, as well as the various blind alleys into which the film’s makers push its characters. Srir...
After the metaphorical rabbit comes the real prey. Akash is faking blindness in the belief that it helps him concentrate on his music better. He is working on a tune that he hopes will get him recognition at an international talent competition. Akash bangs away at his piano in a rented house in Pune, with a cat named Rani for company and a curious ...
Akash meets Sophie (Radhika Apte) and starts playing the piano at the restaurant run by her father Franco (real-life musician Franco Vaz). Akash and Sophie fall in love. When former movie star Pramod Sinha (Anil Dhawan) hires Akash for a private concert for his wife Simi (Tabu), it seems that nothing can go wrong for Akash. The opening sequences co...
Simi (Tabu) is the second wife of former movie star and builder Pramod Sinha. Simi and Pramod live in a luxurious apartment that has vivid wallpaper and photographic evidence of Pramod’s glamorous past. Pramod has promised to arrange for Simi’s acting debut, but he doesn’t realise that Simi is already in performative mode. Simi has a lover tucked a...
When Akash arrives at Simi’s apartment, he learns that there is a body within shouting distance and Manohar is hiding in the toilet. Pramod Sinha has very recently been killed, and Akash is an unwitting witness to the crime. He plays along, as does Simi. She could have driven Akash away from the door, had it not been for her inquisitive neighbour, ...
The movie moves from jog to 100-metre dash once Akash leaves Simi’s apartment. Akash tries to approach the police, only to realise that Manohar is the investigating officer. Akash turns his back on Sophie, and matters get further complicated when Simi visits his apartment. Like Bandu, Simi too suspects that Akash can actually see. After trying to s...
In the second half of the movie, a disoriented – and now blind – Akash finds himself in a seedy hospital run by the doctor Swamy (Zakir Hussain). Swamy has been running an illegal organ extraction racket along with a lottery ticket seller (Chhaya Kadam) and her auto rickshaw driver husband (Pawan Singh). A desperate Akash strikes a bargain with Swa...
Swamy and his posse have no intention of sparing either Akash or Simi. The pianist and the murderess find themselves tied up in the same room while the lottery seller and the rickshaw driver take off to collect their loot from Manohar. In a movie in which nothing goes according to plan, Manohar dies, as does Murali. Sriram: We went back and forth f...
The final act involves the hope that Akash will get his sight back. The unwilling donor: Simi, who has been captured by Swamy and stowed away in the car trunk. Akash feebly protests, saying he cannot abide killing Simi for her organs. Many months later, Sophie meets Akash in a European city. He still appears to be blind, and he offers her another v...
Dec 26, 2018 · This is a vindication of Sriram Raghavan’s style of filmmaking. This is as much an acceptance of unusual cinematic storytelling that Raghavan, Pooja Ladha Surti, his co-writer and editor, and Sanjay Routray, his producer, have believed in for years.
Pooja Ladha Surti, Raghavan’s editor (and one of his co-writers), keeps the pacing taut enough for the mind to wander only after the end credits. Like the policeman’s diet, this is an all ...

Dec 29, 2018 · But then Raghavan has made this film completely his own. Suffice to say here that between them, the five script writers — Sriram Raghavan, Arijit Biswas, Pooja Ladha Surti, Yogesh Chandekar and Hemanth Rao — have created a miracle of a macabre script.
