Anish, an aspiring actor who moonlights as a gigolo because of financial problems, becomes the prime suspect in a murder case after a mysterious client ensnares him to the wrong place at the wrong time.

Once Arishadvarga hits its stride, it becomes enjoyable. The most striking performance comes from Nand Gopal as the dour policeman-on-the-job, busy unravelling the identity of the killer.

Rated: 2.5/5

ScreenAnarchy

This kind of film is typically told in a more crowd-pleasing kind of big budget masala version, rather than a down and dirty straight noir, making Kamath's film a breath of fresh air.

Film Companion

You could claim that the film exists more on an existential plane. Balaji Manohar's cinematography is a standout. The delicate framing (clearly, the work of the director, too) almost makes a case that this is the only pacing that makes sense.

Arishadvarga is a film that deserves multiple viewings — there’s so much to absorb, so many strands to take in, so much deceit, a single viewing is not enough.

Rated: 3.5/5

A well conceived film that is a breath of fresh air from the usual stories that one gets to see.

Rated: 3/5

Asian Movie Pulse

"Arishadvarga" has a lot of merits, particularly for the overall film noir atmosphere and the acting, but the overly complex script and the directorial/editing approach make the narrative difficult to follow, at least for the whole of its duration
