What works?
A Simple Murder cast has put up a good performance in terms of comedy and delivering good comedy punches. y are all shown entangled in a web of lies, deceit and greed. It also depicts well how love can make one go to unimaginable extremes. Light humour has also been ded in all right places.
What doesn’t work?
Manish’s wife Richa is blamed for everything that goes wrong in end. This does t appear right as all characters acted consciously and well-thought decisions. concept does get a bit repetitive. pace of plot is also t evenly distributed along with its seven episodes. It takes a while to catch up to what is happening and thre pieces toger.
