There are some jolting shots and jump scare moments one wasn’t really prepared for. What does impress is how director Pavan Kirpalani saves some of his better stuff for the film and not for the trailer. It never digs deep, only throws information to us about who’s what and why so. It’s all very Raat Akeli Haiish, sans the carefully crafted complexities of the characters. There’s a stepmother named Rukmani ( Chitrangda Singh), a caretaker (Vikrant Massey), a doctor (Shishir Sharma), a distant cousin (a hammy Akshay Oberoi), and an investigative officer (Rahul Dev).
The story is about a wheel-chair bound girl Meesha, played by Sara Ali Khan, who comes to her mansion and finds her father missing. Think of Sriram Raghavan’s Andhadhun, which began, and also (almost) ended with a car crash and a gun shot gone wrong. This is something that has been happening for long now, where the screenplay is written such that we see the same scene twice, once as a glimpse, and when all the clutter is pieced together. The opening scene of Gaslightsuggests we are going to come back to this moment, and the story will inform us how it all happened, and why it happened.
