Right Yaaa Wrong
Right Yaaa Wrong
The three ‘A’s in the title of Right Yaaa Wrong is just a pointer to the oddness of a film, that seems like it belongs to a bygone era. Neerraj Pathak’s film says that it is okay to kill an unfaithful wife, and the audience should be on the side of a cold-blooded murderer.
Ajay (Sunny Deol) and Vinay (Irrfan Khan) are cops and buddies, but don’t agree on how the letter of the law is to be applied. Ajay believes in a soft approach, while Vinay is harsher. A shootout in the line of duty leaves Ajay paralysed, and things come to such a pass that Vinay has to oppose his friend. Vinay is right, but can’t prove it, and standing against him is his lawyer sister (Konkona SenSharma—out of place).
A decade ago, maybe, Right Yaaa Wrong would have worked as a suspense thriller, but now better stories are being told on TV crime shows. Besides, what good is a film in which action star Sunny Deol is confined to a wheelchair, brooding and seething. You think maybe Irrfan and Sunny should have swapped roles… the former would make a better brooder, and the latter a much better angry law enforcer.
