Anu Menon’s Neeyat is cut-off from reality by its storm in a tea-cup sort-of, rather unoriginal storyline. A #VijayMallya-like flamboyant billionaire is having a birthday bash in an isolated castle in Scotland and the invitees, a chosen handful, are there for reasons best known to him. The best thing about this movie is the character of the billionaire and his quirky similarity to the ‘real’ absconding liquor Baron.The rest of it is sloppy balderdash. The murder happens on a cliff and only three people had the chance to go outside the castle yet everyone is made to be a suspect.The characterizations are silly, the reasoning doesn’t hold water and the tempo fails to generate affect. The narrative is sloppily orchestrated with bloopers and loopholes galore. Rahul Bose who is falteringly campy and Vidya Balan, though earnest, fails to make this experience believable or interesting.
