Nawazuddin Siddiqui once again proved that he is as fluid as water and can fit himself into any role. He simply transformed himself into a role that is funny, relatable, and eye-opening at same time. Director Sudhir Mishra made sure to made Ayyan Mani’s character complicated but realistic. At first, Mani seems like kind of person who constantly schemes whoever belittles him, but Mishra changes this im with subtle nuances.
