Pankaj Tripathi-starrer ‘Kadak Singh’ trailer boasts a web of secrets, lies, mysteries

Bollywood actor Pankaj Tripathi’s riveting and deliciously sinister mystery-thriller film ‘Kadak Singh’ was inaugurated at the opening ceremony of the 54th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa.

A spree of secrets, lies and mysteries unveil themselves as a retrograde amnesiac Kadak Singh, who is seemingly timid and meek may just be something the exact opposite of that, as what looked like a warm family drama story quickly took a dark turn in the film’s trailer.

Boasting suspense, drama, emotional weight, violence and great thrills, the trailer sees Panjak Tripathi as AK Srivastav aka Kadak Singh, a man who finds himself in a hospital with no memory.

Surrounded by what were once familiar and now unknown faces, Kadak Singh suffers from retrograde amnesia and at the surface appears like a very gentle, nice and meek kind of a person.

That may very well be the case for him now, as he can’t tell who is his daughter, who is his wife, friend, boss or anyone at all as his mind is in a haze, and memory is surrounded in a fog.

Initially, it sees him bond with a woman who is supposed to be his daughter, played by Sanjana Sanghi. However, this family drama is soon cut by a nasty bog of dark mysteries behind the man who is not what he seems to be.

Seemingly boasting a dark past, it is gradually revealed that AK Srivastav was a rather nasty person, and was so strict that he earned the name ‘Kadak Singh’.

He is revealed to have been a Joint Director at the Department of Financial Crimes, and as of now he can’t separate fact from fiction.

But amid the maze of half-baked memories, he is determined to uncover the truth behind him mysteriously landing up in a hospital and behind a significant financial crime, all of this while saving his family from falling apart.

But this is no loving family, but rather a dysfunctional one with a plethora of unforeseen events leading to a rollercoaster of emotions.

There are different perspectives present throughout the trailer, with explosions taking place, heists coming into place, and Kadak Singh’s own status is under question.

Talking about the film, Pankaj Tripathi said in a statement, “‘Kadak Singh’ is unlike anything I have played before. He is an unusual character, and it was such joy portraying such a layered personality. Additionally, I got to work with some incredible talent, including Tony Da, Parvathy, Jaya and the young and enthusiastic ones like Sanjana.”

“Everyone’s combined energy and passion really transformed the film from the pages to the screen. Also, it was exciting to launch the trailer at IFFI last night and see the audience’s reaction to the trailer for the first time ever. We are also screening the film here at IFFI so we are excited for that too,” he added. (IANS)
