Editor Bakul Baljeet Matiyani shaped the rhythm. On an edit-heavy film, the editor does more to control your pulse than the director.

You know something is very wrong right from the brilliant opening montage of Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar (Sandeep and Pinky On the Run), a story about two chance expendables running for their life. The brilliance lies in the writing here which gives you enough to stay invested and rooting for the characters, each of who are played by talented actors. It's a slow burn but it never crescendoes into what you would expect (adding to the fun), but Parineeti Chopra and Arjun Kapoor put up a show that can very well be termed a holy homecoming. Watch it.
