Right Yaaa Wrong Movie Review: Right Ya Wrong? You Decide
Right Yaaa Wrong by Neeraj Pathak and produced under the banner of Subash Ghai’s Mukta Arts, is an average thriller. A weaker version of a typical film Abbas Mustan, less on twists and oomph, Right Yaaa Wrong is predictable.
Barring some thrills, the film is flat and could have been better with some more depth in the script. Right Yaaa Wrongil is a copy of the 1995 television movie starring ‘Under Suspicion’ Christopher Reeve and Willaim H. Macy.
Story of Right Yaaa Wrong: The movie begins with a thrilling action scene where Sunny Deol, Irrfan Khan, Deepal Shaw are busting a criminal gang. Director Neeraj Pathak is smart enough to display the qualities of the two police officers Shridhar Ajay (Sunny Deol) and Vinay Patnaik (Irrfan Khan) from the first reel itself. It is evident that Ajay is someone who is very sensitive and likes to give people a second chance while Vinay is someone who is practical in his views and will not spare anyone who violates the law.
Now Ajay is married to a woman named Anshita (Eesh Koppikar) and they have a child as well. However Anshita is sleeping around with Ajay’s cousin and Ajay is blissfully ignorant of all this. There comes a time when in a criminal encounter, Ajay is paralyzed from the waist down, which left him unable to move. Frustrated with life, he calls his wife and his cousin to kill him so that both can claim the insurance money. The greed for money and the opportunities to spend their lives together make Anshita and her lover agree to the point. Ajay actually tells a fool proof plan to kill him but eventually the tables are turned when he shoots both his wife and his cousin.
The police department and the media believe Ajay when he says that he killed in self defense, but Vinay (Irrfan Khan) suspects that something is wrong. He is determined to prove that the murder was planned in advance, but the law does not buy it. So what does Vinay do prove he is right and Ajay is wrong?
Good things in Right Yaaa Wrong
The narrative has a smooth flow in the second half, the film has some substance. The interesting thing about the movie is the bold character of Eesha Koppikar who sleeps with someone else and does not justify her behavior. The editing is crisp, well and does its best to hide the gaps in the script
Not so Good Things in Right Yaaa Wrong
There are glaring minuses in Right Yaaa Wrong. For instance, it seems far-fetched that Anshita and her lover would actually not smell a rat when Ajay tells them to kill him. There is just a momentary hesitation and then they agree; something that does not really seem natural in the plot.
Eesha is dressed in a rather fancy manner for a middle class policewoman’s wife.
The court scenes are filmi and thing like the judge screaming to people to maintain decorum is cliché now. Things like the ‘lie detector test’ was not needed and we see that the judge gives her decision based on factors that the lie detector test, which is not really a ‘legal evidence’ for judicial decisions.
The scenes like lawyer Konkana Sen’s resolve to fight for Sunny Deol’s sake does not really look convincing.The film is low on entertainment because there are not many good scenes between Sunny Deol and Irrfan Khan
Best scene in Right Yaa Wrong
The scene where Sunny Deol proves to Irrfan Khan that he hit a dolphin stone at Eesha Koppiar at a 180 degree angle, on a wheel-chair is commendable.
Performances in Right Yaaa Wrong
Konkana Sen does not have much to do but gives a restrained performance.Eesha Koppikar’s role of an adulterous woman is laudable and the woman really gives her best shot. Check out her wicked smile when she gets to know that there is a way for them to have a kill and get on with the booty. Sunny Deol looks retired but it is to his credit that he has given a restrained performance without mouthing glass-shattering dialogues. Irrfan Khan is the scene stealer in the film who really goes after the film hammer and tongs and pitches in a brilliant performance
Conclusion
Watch it if you want to see a passable thriller
