Zee5’s latest release—Sunflower—is a mystery that is really no mystery. Centred on a murder victim no one cares about and punched in with comedy where every intended joke falls flat, this film, directed by Vikas Bahl of Queen fame, is disappointing, to say the least. It’s actually the inanities of the plot that keep the laughter rolling.
The owner of a penthouse in a typical Mumbai high-rise is discovered dead, early one morning. Suspected foul play is proven when Bromethalin or rat poison is found in the deceased’s bloodstream. A team of the Mumbai Police (Ranvir Shorey and Girish Kulkarni) is called in to investigate the murder and question the residents of the apartment complex. After an inexplicably shoddy search of the crime scene, where the murderer escapes detection—hold your breath—by hiding behind a sofa, the police narrow down two suspects, the victim’s immediate neighbour (Mukul Chadha) with whom he had a long-standing feud, and a well-meaning though decidedly-odd bachelor (Sunil Grover) who lives a few floors down.
