The Film - Emotional Atayachar, is a road thriller with black humour. It is an ensemble film set on the deserted highway between Mumbai and Goa and revolves around incidents that take place in one night to four sets of travelers.It is essentially a dark film, in which, each character is an anti-hero who has a dark side. The real hero of the film is the mysterious interconnection between these stories that unfolds in a non-linear format. Each story varies from the other in its humour, flavour, and content but is driven by more or less a similar motive – money.

Emotional Atyachar is a quirky, dark, humorous, non-linear, connect-the-dots, pulp-type fiction. With performers like Vinay Pathak, Ranvir Shorey, Abhimanyu Singh, Ravi Kissen, it's short, but not-so-sweet fun.

In the context, I can’t help but remember a favourite film of mine from recent years – Ek Chalis Ki Last Local. Another debut effort, it had the same concept as this one. But it comes across as a far more superior film. It focussed on its strengths – the quirky characters, the outrageous situations, the witty dialogues and the spontaneous performances. It bore the hallmark of a confident debut. Emotional Atyachar has the same strengths, maybe in a slightly higher quantum than its predecessor. But it comes across as less sure of its strengths and tries to rely on artificial props like a non-linear narrative, quick cuts and the likes. That, the way I see it, will prove to be its biggest undoing.
