Plot: Judgementall Hai Kya is a Bollywood quirky comedy, the story of two individuals whose lives pivot between reality and illusions.
Bobby (Kangana Ranaut) is a voice-over artist and she lives in an illusionary world of the characters of those whom she gives her voice as brutal childhood trauma leaves her diagnosed with serious psychiatric disease acute psychosis in her adult years. And after doing time at an asylum for assaulting a co-worker, she is let off on the condition that she will stick with her medication.
The turning point in the story comes when Bobby has the entry of new tenants Kapal Keshav (Rajkumar Rao) and Reema (Amayara Dastur). Bobby is lost in this couple's normal life and their love story. But then a murder breaks this momentum and Bobby believes Keshav is the culprit. Is it her overactive imagination, or is it her paranoia that has led her to do this instead?
Review: All artists in the film have done a great job. The performances are consistent throughout and it’s delightful to see such talented actors feed off each other. In the role of Bobby, Kangana is as good as ever and she has completely blended herself deep in character nailing the quirks and nuances. Even her styling makes a statement without going overboard. Rajkumar Rao fits into his slightly macho, edgy persona like a glove. We haven’t seen him in a role like this before and he pulls it off fantastically. Jimmy Sheirgill as a surprise package in the movie impresses as he breaks out of the one-note characters he has been playing lately.
Director Prakash Kovelamudi made this film in a different style, filmed in strange colourful lights. The film's scenes, characters, and sound awaken curiosity which could keep you busy all the time. Though the second half of the film may seem a bit crooked and stretched and the climax of the movie is eliminated in haste. The suspense remains in the film till the end which makes it interesting. The film comes with a social message which cannot be ignored as that treads into a zone where Bollywood has rarely been, and just for that, it deserves applause.
