Susheela Mediatech Pvt. Ltd. and New Preach Resound Enterprises’ Antervyathaa (UA) is the story of using fear, insecurity and distress to nab a criminal.
An investigating police officer is helped in a criminal case by another person who uses his experiences with fear. The philosophy used is that the fear, insecurity and tension a criminal feels after committing a crime can all be used to nab him. Are the two able to make the criminal crumble under the pressure of his own insecurities?
Keshav Arya’s story and screenplay are not interesting or engaging enough to involve the audience. In fact, the premise on which the investigating officer and the other person are jointly working is very well-known and, therefore, it doesn’t have novelty value in that sense. Dialogues are routine.
Keshav Arya does an average job. Veena Choudhary is ordinary. Anuradha Khiara delivers a routine performance. Hemant Pandey, Gulshan Pandey, Kuldeep Sareen and the rest lend ordinary support.
Keshav Arya’s direction is dull. Music (Tochi Raina and Piyush Pooji) is not of the popular variety. Lyrics (Dilip Singh and Karan Mastana) are just about passable. Song picturisations (by Sapan Acharya and Mayank Shrivastava) are nothing to shout about. Sarfaraz Khan and Upender’s camerawork is hardly worth a separate mention. Ram Babu Thakur’s art direction is below the mark. Prafull Srivastava’s editing is loose.
On the whole, Antervyathaa lacks commercial value and will, therefore, flop at the box-office.
Released on 3-1-’20 at Gulshan (daily 1 show) and another cinema of Bombay thru Art Circle Distribution. Publicity & opening: poor. …….Also released all over.
