The senior Police officers in London repeatedly stop Officer Sia Agnihotri from going deep into the investigation of this mystifying case and so she is even more desperate to crack it. One of the suspected protagonists helps her in the case to find the real accused.
Everyone is a Suspect, and every suspect has a motive.
Game – It’s not over till its over.
Who is the murderer and what was his/her intention forms the twist in the climax?
Game is a whodunit tale spanning 5 international cities. It is a slick edge-of-the-seat crime thriller with twists and turns involving love, revenge, retribution and good old-fashioned murder.
Cinematographer Katrhik Vijay has beautifully captured the enchanting beauty sea sides of Samos in Greece, and the locales of Bangkok, Turkey, London and India.
We have high production values and some unexpected twists and turns in the story. Abhishek is just okay as a debonair city slicker. Kangana Ranaut and Jimmy Shergill are over the top. Boman Irani and Anupam Kher are excellent. Shahana Goswami is brilliant, even as the debutante Sarah Jane Dias is there in well choreographed dance sequences. Notwithstanding the availability of high budget and the talented cast, Game is just an average thriller.
