BLACKMAIL

Blackmail is a dark comedy fi lm that
narrates the story of Dev (Irrfan Khan),
a middle-class man who learns about
his wife’s infi delity when he comes

her. Instead of confronting her, he
decides to blackmail his wife’s boyfriend
by demanding one lakh rupees.
However, things take an interesting
turn when he gets blackmailed in return
by people who have discovered his
secret. This leads to an intense cat-and-
mouse chase that ultimately seems to
go out of control, resulting in a lot of
bloodshed and violence.
