The kidnapping of a dear one forces a real-estate magnate to relive his dark past and seek out the snake in his own family.

REVIEW: Gurgaon begins with a monologue about dropping our civilized appearances and morphing into our true inner beasts. Ironically, the movie doesn’t quite take the leap itself.

We enter its universe with Preet (Khanna), who returns home after getting an education abroad, but is quickly made to drop the worldly woman act and serve pakoras to the men of the house. Her father Kehri Singh (Tripathi) is a superstitious business magnate who believes that his adopted daughter is the source of his fortunes. Her brother, Nikki (Oberoi) is a good-for-nothing heir who bets on cricket matches and dreams of opening his own gym. Nikki loses a big bet and concocts an evil plan to extort the lost money from his own father. The plan goes off-track, bulldozing his future and raising dark incidents from his father’s past.

Shanker Raman’s debut feature has the distinct flavour of early Ram Gopal Verma works and recent Anurag Kashyap noirs. He reels you in with thoughtfully written characters that have rich pasts and ripe selfish motives. His study of the sexism, rampant corruption and the value of life in bustling metropolises is admirable. The central idea is unoriginal at best, but it is clear that Raman intends to explore more than just the outcome of a kidnapping. However, this is never actualized.

The film plods on with despicable characters and (highly indulgent) flashbacks of a devious past. Raman employs usual noir elements like a harrowing background score and minimal dialogue to disturb you but there’s a textbook quality to the intensity; the story is surprisingly simple and the symbolism is too spoon-fed. You’re never quite reeling from the supposed evilness of the proceedings.

The performers swoop in where the courage of the filmmaker flails. Tripathi splendidly plays a man whose ghosts have caught up to him; Oberoi humanizes his all-out-evil character; Khanna is feisty, but saddled with an uneven role and Vatsa’s restrained performance prevents her character from becoming a stereotypical Nirupa Roy-type.

Unlike its namesake city, Gurgaon isn’t messy enough and doesn’t leave you gasping for air. But it provides a temporary taste of the dark side.
