The first kill in Bob Biswas is from where I got involved in the film, which carries a slow-fast pace throughout, as we dive deeper into the enigma that is Bob, a serial killer who has just woken up from an 8-year coma. Thanks to the persistent background score and Abhishek Bachchan's deadpan performance as the titular character, I breezed through this. Towards the end, I had to sit up and seek the media player backward to make sense of what was going on. That is the pace I was talking about. A great affair.
