Gumraah Movie Story
The brutal murder of a young man is a puzzle for the cops assigned to the case. Inspector Shivani (Mrunal Thakur) is the kind of brisk no-nonsense policewoman who barks orders at her underlings, and doesn’t suffer fools gladly, even if it is her senior (Ronit Roy). Who can the killer be? Is it the clean-cut Arjun or the low-life Ronnie, both played by Aditya Roy Kapur in a double role.
Gumraah Movie Review
The chief question that comes to mind while watching ‘Gumraah’, a remake of the Tamil-language ‘Thadam’ (2019), is this: why are Hindi films choosing to remake such recent films, especially when the original could just as easily be available on a streaming platform? It’s almost like there are no original ideas left in Bollywood, given that last week’s ‘Bholaa’ was also a remake of the 2019 ‘Kaithi’, also in Tamil.
Gumraah’ is nothing but a drag. Nothing either of the suspects do — Arjun who romances his perky colleague (Vedika Pinto), nor Ronnie who hangs out with his pal (Deepak Kalra) — evoke the slightest bit of interest. The key conflict arises from the fact that both men are dead ringers for each other, so which of the two was it who raised the sharp object and stabbed his victim multiple times?
