 Review of Nail Polish (Hindi - 2021)

2020 unforgettable year for world due to Covid-19 tragedy and we all wish 2021 may bring betterment in situation. Last year like all other businesses and industries film industry also suffered such loss of demise of such actors and people from the fraternity and also many films stuck and didn't get release as theatres were closed almost a year and still not running like earlier it was before pandemic.

2020 was a year of OTT platform we got such brilliant films and web series on various OTT channels such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Sony Liv, Zee5 etc and some more who expanded their business to stream films directly without a theatrical release. Many film producers agreed to sell and release their already made films to these OTT platforms even it included such big budgeted films having big stars like Akshay Kumar's Laxmii. Such films and series received humongous success like Scam 1992 : The Harshad Mehta Story which set benchmarks for Indian web series and also such films and series fail to win the heart of audience but still it got views. It included all films hindi as well as other regional films.

We are now in 2021 and we hope that we can get to see films soon in theatres. On 1st January 2020 first Friday two hindi films released one Ram Prasad Ki Tehrvi in theatres with 50 occupancy and another is Nail Polish which is streaming now on ZEE5 platform.

Bugs Bhargava Krishna brings first hindi films of 2021 on ZEE5 which is according to me a kickass start of the year. In my opinion this psychological court room drama thriller has that ingredients what one thriller film's lover wants to watch. Despite it that it has predictable story in first part it has an engaging screenplay that kept me hooked till the end specially post interval twist it's nail biting.

We have seen such films earlier which had split personality disorder, we have also seen such films which has outstanding court room dramatic sequences, we have also seen some films which has brutality in murder etc we have seen earlier which is 50 percent of this film has in the plot but rest 50 percent is damn amazing specially because of excellent performances by the cast

Any crime is a production of mind and then body gets a punishment for it. Based on this the story set on life of sport coach who was earlier undercover army officer Veer Singh played by underrated brilliant actor and one of my most favorite writer Manav Kaul to whom i admire a lot for writing such beautiful thoughtful Hindi Kahaniya in his books.

Anand Tiwari plays role of prosecution lawyer who's fighting on behalf of the state and Arjun Rampal is defence lawyer who's trying to save Veer Singh from this crime for his personal agenda of politics.

Versatile actor Rajit Kapur plays honorable judge and Madhoo plays role of his wife. Here story based on Veer Singh's case but good thing is both lawyers, judge all of them have their personal lives stories too for the viewers like web series we get to know about each character at least lead characters little from their perspectives.

As always Rajit Kapur is brilliant and plays his part of judgement so well with sincere performance. Anand Tiwari a common man's lawyer he's damn good and he gets more dialogues than everyone in courtroom sequences. Arjun Rampal whom i always wanted to see doing such series kinda stuff finally got to see him in this thriller films where he's playing lawyer he has less dialogues comparatively prosecution lawyer but his calmness and solid act of performing a role of lawyer makes it more superior. He's always a good performer specially where he's choosing any serious roles like this one and very nice comeback after such gap. I wish to see him doing more in future. Madhoo and Samreen Kaur both of them played their part well.

Lastly to whom this film belongs to Manav Kaul and i must repeat again that he's an underrated actor. I loved his work from Jajantaram Mamantaram to Kai Po Che to Music Teacher he gave such fantastic performances in his career but still not considered as famous face of an actor but for me he's versatile. He is also director, writer and author of Hindi stories books which proves that he's damn genius multi talented person. I even loved his Slow Interview with Neelesh Mishra where i got to know more about his professional and personal life. So he's one who's making this film more watchable with his powerful performance of two roles he played and not writing more about roles as i don't want to be spoiler here but one who loves thrillers, psychological and court room drama will definitely find it worth watch.

Over all it's one very well executed and acted film in my opinion.

My ratings 

3.2/5.
