You may not have heard about this film, but don’t let a case of bad marketing deter you from watching it. Because hey, here’s your chance to savour an intelligent thriller from the desi cinema mills, after a long-long time. Actually, Right Yaa Wrong is neither a mystery nor a thriller. It keeps the viewer in the loop from the word go as it unfolds a murder-gone-wrong drama. Nevertheless, it keeps you at the edge of the seat for most of its engrossing length and breadth. And that’s because of quite a few reasons. First and foremost, the film boasts of an intelligent script which tackles the run-of-the-mill murder and courtroom drama with a teasing twist in the tale. The story runs on two tracks. At one level, there is the domestic drama where cuckolded husband, Sunny Deol, must contend with his physical debility on one hand and his wife’s infidelities on the other.

And at the other level, there is his friendship with his colleague and buddy cop, Irrfan Khan, which is jeopardised by suspicion, mistrust and questions of moral ambiguity (right or wrong). Irrfan, obviously, is punctiliously wedded to the right and is determined to get after all lawbreakers, even if that entails gunning for his best friend. Add to this, a budding, albeit unsaid, romance between the beleaguered cop, Sunny and Konkona Sen Sharma, Irrfan’s lawyer sister, and you have a network of tantalising bonds that keep the tempo running.

Director Neerraj Pathak shows immense potential. He had proved his credentials as a writer earlier [GHAATH, PARDES, APNE], but with RIGHT YAAA WRONG, he proves he’s an efficient storyteller as well. Monty’s music is strictly functional and the few songs in the narrative don’t contribute much.Sunny seems to get it right this time. He underplays his part beautifully. But it is Irrfan who lights fire in water and emerges the scene-stealer. He’s excellent all through the second hour. Konkona stages an entry in the post-interval portions and makes a stunning impact in the courtroom sequences. Eesha Koppikhar is first-rate. Arav Chowdharry [Sunny’s brother] enacts his part with conviction.

On the whole, RIGHT YAAA WRONG is a powerful thriller, with a knockout second half. However, the film faces strong opposition from two quarters - IPL cricket matches and the ongoing examination period. But a strong word of mouth should change the tide in its favour. Go, watch it… this one’s a pleasant surprise!
