Overall an ok watch compared to any of recent stuff that has come out on OTT. Hugely theatrical though - like a stylish Ekta Kapoor soap opera from 90's. You don't really get an emotional connect with any character since it all looks staged and many situations appear stilted and awkward.
The problem here is the makers tried very hard to make a gripping thriller but went all over the place with silly sub plots that halfway through it just becomes a bland khichdi.
Shefali tends to overact in many scenes. I think she's a good actress, and has many similarities with Rekha in terms of acting and looks ( but Rekha of course is the original) but here, you literally see her trying desparately hard to squeeze out an entire gamut of emotions, rolling eyes, sultry baritone (really?) heavy breathing etc. Doesn't work and you are left cold.
Kirti is average.
Vivek is very good. At times playing to the gallery but still watchable.
It was great to see Seema Biswas after long. But here she is wasted.
The son is so irritating and unconvincing.
Everyone else strictly ok.
Indian actors need to understand the art of being subtle and to really get into character. But then I guess not everyone can be a Naseeruddin, Shabana, Rekha, Smita, Irfan or Nawazuddin.
