There are good movies and there are bad movies. I can't put this movie in to any of those categories. So my rating is also in the middle. Acting of everyone(mostly) is very good but the story is dragged for too long. It could have been a good movie if it was made within 100 minutes.
You can watch it but if you don't you are not missing out on anything.

Dark Comedy without Comedy
Kudos to the team for choosing such topic. Vijay Verma was excellent. It was nice to see a built up towards Badru's anger to to the point she wanted to teach Hamza a lesson totally believable not expected from Bollywood but nice surprise. Now to the story it was promoted as dark humor but apart from 1 or 2 scenes i didnt find any comdedy. It was pretty straight forward story. There was nothing extra ordinary to lift the movie. It felt like a TV movie nothing more. Comedy can be best said to be an extinct art in Bollywood. Zulfi and Badru's mom character could have been explored more. Tons of dark comedy could hve been added. Anyways good step forward but needs more polish.

Good dark comedy
After longtime finding good dark comedy in Hindi without remakes is good reason to pickup this movie, as it holds a satisfying climax. The struggle to hold on to abusive relationship is so well crafted in the story and flushed awesomely by Alia. And a manipulative husband, and a lovable mother with her grim past. Make this movie a good one,

Worst bollywood movie I have ever seen.
@Viper2227 You moron, now imagine if a woman treats a man badly (something that happens way too many time to be reported as news) and he decides to get revenge like this. Wouldn't twats like you call it misogyny then? Which streaming service would release a movie like that then? I sincerely hope something like that happens to you so you may learn one lesson in life at least.
@triklops What misandrist BS? The man had it coming the way he treated her as if she was a nobody.
First, she did try to make him happy, she did try to make that drunken little fart less miserable, and create a happy family, and second, he was not worthy of her, she deserved a real man, and he deserved his manhood cut off and made to join a party of eunuchs. Loser husbands like him have all the courage of a kitchen mouse in front of outsiders, and have all the energy in the world to fight and argue with their wives and kids (unless those kids grow up and defend themselves and their mom). The woman lost her unborn child for fuks sake because of that abusive drunken bastard, what did you expect, be with him and take his cr/ap as usual?! "Dhere dhere nahi maronga, ek shot main maronga jis tarah teri beti ko mara tha" these are his words.. Eseme karma ne toh eski marni thi kisi na kisi tarah.
MISANDRY
more hindi content plzzz thanks
A BS misandrist movie that glorifies domestic violence against men. Try making a movie where the man gets his revenge on his physically abusive wife and see if you can get anyone to release it.
thanks
