Pretty good movie, the acting was also very good. All the confusion keeps the movie interesting. Loved irfan khan like always.

From the reviews that I had seen, the movie was apparently good but not great. So my expectations weren't that high for the film and I was just looking forward to a fun film. But it turned out to be even better than what I thought!Irrfan as Dev is a weird but smart guy who lives in his own world and has quite a boring life with fixed routines and peculiar habits. When he catches his wife Reena (Kirti Kulhari) with her boyfriend Ranjit (Arunoday), he decides to blackmail them, not knowing what it was going to lead to.The movie tries to take the story to its full potential while striving to keep it from getting too complicated, which it succeeds in. The story-telling is good and the movie employs a lot of symbolism to convey some aspects of the story.The dark humour is done well and the movie has some outstanding moments, most of them including Irrfan who easily steals the show. This guy seems to do full justice to every role that he picks up and this is no exception. There is no 'hero' in this movie, but you would be rooting for Dev for sure. The entire supporting cast does its job well including Anand played by Pradhuman Singh who in fact is also the writer for dialogues in the movie. The film could have been shortened a bit while removing the song as well- my only two major complains with the film. Abhinay Deo, the director of Delhi Belly has given us a great film which is definitely worth watching and enjoying. A rare, good dark comedy from Bollywood that should not be missed.

Its a must watch experience. I dont understand why few people gave negetive reviews. Its a good film owing to its uncommon storyline

Abhinay Deo's Blackmail, a black comedy film, does not turn out to be a promising film. Abhinav Deo's Delhi Belly had become a box-office hit. He has tried the same genre in this film as well, but the film picks up only at certain shots. Irrfan Khan is a great actor and he generally brings his punches to the characters he plays on screen. But in blackmail, even his punches were missing in most of the places, could be due to the screenplay. The premise of the film is interesting that when a husband accidentally discovers his wife having an affair, how he deals with the same? Instead of confronting with his wife, he chooses to blackmail her. How does this blackmail impact his wife, wife's boyfriend and how do they respond back is shown in rest of the film. Rather the trailer revealed the flow of the film. The film suffers from repetition syndrome. The initial parts of the film seemed interesting. Dev (Irrfan Khan) is trapped in his mundane routine. He prefers to play games on computer in office till late evenings rather than going back home to his loveless marriage. His wife Reena (Kriti Kulhari) is shown to be very detached towards Dev and she is just bothered to know whether Dev paid the TV bill or not. Dev has a list of his expenses written viz. loan emi, bills etc. Dev wished sincerely that his relationship with Reena improves. So, one day, he decided to surprise his wife by reaching home early and that is when he finds his wife in bed with her lover Ranjeet (Arunodaya Singh). Dev decides to blackmail Ranjeet.Rest of the film is all about how the events unfold when Dev starts the blackmailing. Dev's blackmailing leads to a series of blackmails. It gets very repetitive and the film starts suffering as far as the content, pace, dialogues etc. are concerned. The subplots seemed forced. Irrfan Khan and Arunodya Singh rescue the film from being a boring one. Divya Dutt has done justice to her role, but her role itself seemed absolutely out of place in the film. Kriti is ok. The subplots involving Dev's boss Omi Vaidya's plans to capture the .market for toilet rolls did not add magic to the film. It is sad that Urmila Matondkar's item song is absolutely forgettable. Abhinav Deo's Blackmail suffers from repetition syndrome. Irrfan and Arunodaya do add value to the film with their presence. The premise of the film is interesting but it does not pick up.
