My Rating : 6/10
No, this is nowhere as good as the original but an okay attempt and I'm certain there will be some viewers who would have little interest in the Spanish version so this will work well in their favour as they will have the pleasure-of-the-first-vision. For those who have seen the original you will always be comparing the two and having known the story you will mostly watch out of curiosity to see how they have adapted it for the Indian audience.
Good points - I liked the Mahabharata references a lot - gives it a nice Indian feel. Tapsee and Amitabh Sir make a good combination as previously seen in 'Pink'. Good work by Amrita Singh as well. Background score is well-done. The dark cinematography is seriously a very nice touch and makes it interesting to watch on a rainy day.
Bad points - Tony Luke's acting as Arjun is very much the weakest link and seriously unconvincing. Wish they had chosen a different actor who could lend credibility to the role. Some aspects are under-developed plot-wise and the twists and turns are sometimes not as precise and sharp.
Overall, if you are into thrillers you'll certainly love the dark-noir atmosphere and the twists and turns.
