There are so many stories to tell which don't require big budgets. A good story and a good actor are really good enough. Movies like Vadh are a testament to this.

Sanjay Mishra and Neena Gupta are an elderly couple living in a north Indian city. They have taken a loan from a loan shark to send their son to the USA. The son no longer cares about his parents and the loan shark no longer wants to wait. He is a thoroughly bad man. There is no grey shade there. It is well established to justify why it's not a mere killing, but it's a Vadh, a Hindi term for righteous assassination.

The movie then moves on to make sure that Sanjay Mishra covers this all up with a little help from luck. The story is compelling and with genius actors at the helm, becomes believable.

More often than not, the elderly or general victims in a Hindi movie are shown as weak and at the mercy of their oppressors. Vadh turns it on its head. The transformation of Sanjay Mishra from a simple god-fearing law-abiding citizen to one who could go ahead with the ultimate act is worth watching. It gets better as he decides to cover this up with cold blood.

Neena Gupta is a brilliant supporting actor. She is god-fearing and stays the same for the most part, but then there are times when she stands by her husband.

Overall, it is worth a watch.
