Story

The Film Emotional Atyachaar is a dark comedy, a genre that doesn't work on half-hearted writing - setting aside the fact that it is also a genre with limited appeal. However, the movie doesn't move on from being an idea; and when it does, it turns out to be misguided.

The film is a thriller that is narrated to us while a bloke called Hiten Sardesai (Anand Tiwari) drives a bullet-ridden businessman Vikram Jaiswal (Mohit Ahlawat) to safety.

In what is an increasing trend, the flick entwines a bunch of stories that are all set in Goa. There is a pair of weirdo cops (Ranvir Shorey & Vinay Pathak) who try to extort money from a casino owner (Abhimanyu Singh) by abducting his bar-dancing girlfriend (Kalki Koechlin).

Vikram Jaiswal is the anxiously-aggressive son of a business tycoon who wants to "arrive" as a business tycoon himself, and has just lost out on a deal. A trio of wannabe gangsters (led by Ravi Kissen) join the plot, as they try to pinch what they can off an upcoming drug deal.

We could say that the wit in the movie is about alright in places, but most of the time, the film overshoots cinematic liberties. For one, the sheer amount of profanity it uses reeks of plain stupidity. It's not just the swear words - some of the dialogues are plain dirty. Also, there are a couple of scenes that gross you out, and again, it's not even offensive - it's silly
