Vidya Bagchi arrives in Kolkata from London to find her missing husband. Seven month pregnant and alone in a festive city, she begins a relentless search for her husband. With nothing to rely on except fragment from her memories about him, all clues seem to reach a dead end when everyone tries to convince Vidya that her husband does not exist.

Kahaani isn’t what you’d call a major movie – it’s more a taut little genre exercise – but the highest compliment we can give Ghosh is that he takes a host of clichés and makes a film that looks compellingly one-of-a-kind, at least in an Indian context.

The first half has some genuinely scary and sinister moments, but the ending feels more clumsy than menacing

A thrilling mind game you don't mind losing

The Hindu

If story is what you seek from a film, Kahaani is a must-watch

Times of India

Racy as well as thought-provoking, that steps bravely off the well-trodden path with both the heroine and the city at its centre, and that keeps you glued to your seat

Firstpost

A fast, fun, fearless thriller

Kahaani works big time. The movie triumphs in evoking emotions. You experience compassion, resentment, defenselessness and triumph at a variety of stages
