Andhadhun story (no spoilers)
Akash Sarraf (Ayushmann Khurrana) is a blind pianist whose life takes a sharp turn when a series of mysterious events unfolds around him. After he becomes entangled in a crime he never actually witnessed, Akash must navigate a web of deception while reporting what he knows. Tabu plays Simi Sinha, and Radhika Apte appears as Sophie, adding layers to the tense situations Akash faces. Directed by Sriram Raghavan, the film mixes crime, mystery, thriller, and comedy, keeping the tone unpredictable. As Akash's secret—hinted at by the tagline 'Every artist has a secret'—threatens to surface, the story twists through darkly comic and suspenseful moments. The Hindi and English dialogue, along with the 139-minute runtime, builds a narrative where nothing is quite as it seems. The UA certificate suggests it's suitable for older audiences, and the plot keeps you guessing about who is telling the truth and who is playing a part.
