New York private detective Duncan "Mac" MacLain is blind but has keenly developed all his other senses. He pursues his work assisted by his faithful guide dog Friday, his butler, Alistair, and his assistant, Marty. Retired actress Norma Lawry, an old friend, comes to Mac seeking advice. Her headstrong 17-year-old step-daughter Barbara, herself a promising actress, is enamored with her leading man in a small theater production, the much older Lothario Paul Gerente. Paul, who had once been Norma's lover, has convinced Barbara that Norma actually wants Paul for herself and has only married her father Stephen for his money. At Mac's urging, Norma tried to reason with Paul, but he insists that he loves Barbara and laughs her off. Barbara is equally disdainful of her and agrees to meet Paul for dinner that night at his apartment.
Norma's husband Stephen Lawry is a scientist leaving that night on a trip to test a secret invention on which he has been working for the government and the war effort. Worried about Barbara, she uses a pretext not to accompany Stephen and goes to the apartment. When Barbara arrives, she finds Paul's dead body and thinks that Norma has killed him, even though Norma insists that he was dead when she arrived. Barbara threatens to call the police unless she leaves Stephen. Fearing that a scandal will hurt him, Norma agrees. Norma then turns to Mac, who goes to Paul's apartment with Friday and Marty, only to find the body and the rug under it missing. A man arrives to replace the rug and Mac hides in a closet, overhearing a telephone call to Norma's number from "Gabriel" to "Vera." Mac accidentally gives himself away, but with Friday's help overpowers Gabriel, who refuses to talk. Mac has Marty hide him to keep him under wraps.
Norma returns to her country home unexpectedly, which discourages an espionage ring that includes her butler, Hansen, from breaking into Stephen's safe and stealing his plans. They have killed Gerente, who was also an agent, and hidden the body. Mac arrives with Friday at Norma's house and pretends to be her curmudgeonly "Uncle Mac" who has come for a visit. His blindness lulls any suspicions Hansen might have about him. Shortly thereafter, Barbara comes home from an "emergency rehearsal", called to get her out of the house by her director, Cheli Scott, who inveigles an invitation to spend the night at the Lawry home. Unknown to Barbara and Norma, Cheli is the ringleader of the spies. Cheli ordered Paul killed because his affection for Barbara was beginning to limit his effectiveness, and she immediately suspects Mac is not what he seems.
Gabriel's wife Vera, the Lawrys' maid, is also a part of the plot. When Gabriel does not return home, Vera becomes hysterical with worry. Mac secretly asks Vera to meet him in the greenhouse, using her worry about Gabriel as a lure. She is observed by the others, however, and is killed by Hansen before she can reach Mac. The spies cut the house's telephone wires so that Mac and Norma cannot call the police, and Cheli has Mac locked up under guard. Using his blindness as a distraction, Mac overpowers his guard and releases Friday out a window with instructions to "go home and get Marty." Stephen arrives home and Cheli threatens his family if he does not give her the final step in creating his invention, which was not in the safe. Barbara finally realizes how much Norma actually cares for her. Mac tries to stall for time, but is locked in the cellar. When Hansen goes to kill him, Mac has broken the light bulb and his advantage of total darkness helps him overcome the spy. Marty and Friday return with the police. When Friday is spotted by a lookout, Mac overpowers him and is saved from being shot by another lookout by Friday. After the spies are captured, Stephen and Norma are off to Washington, D.C., with Barbara remaining behind to care for her new "Uncle Mac."
以戏论戏，并没有拍得很好。后面的连串反转，也过于表面化。至于高分，不言而喻了。
印度电影真的这些年有超越日韩的趋势，原因就是他们敢说敢拍，他们真实！
那些拿拍摄手法、剧情bug说事，讽刺别人因为题材打五星的人，自己不也因为题材给战狼，长津湖打了五星吗？每个人都有自己的评分标准，没有谁比谁高级，用不着装高级讽刺别人。
我看不下去了 政治的东西 我还是理解不了 可能还要看看评论再决定要不要认真看下去
咱就是说，印度这个老嫂子，电影是真敢拍啊。这高分基本都是给题材大胆的吧！电影还是印度套路，歌舞部分不多，剧情反转反转再反转，政治，媒体，女性，种族歧视等等，都涉及。四分
宿敌（豆瓣评分8.7）
两类内容合并成一集。弱小不代表不被看好，拥有坚定的信仰和内心，能够在其他人的帮助下成就事业，而善良温柔的人也愿意成人之美。曾经的友谊因为能力成就的差别而疏远，是留着怀念过去还是互相迁就成全，热闹却不代表不寂寞，真正的友谊即使长时间不联系仍然是一见如初。唤石者的努力，三筱的故事，一部是信念，一部是情谊。
叙事技法挺拙劣的，宝莱坞式的形式感犹存，并不对胃口。但即便如此，这道直面社会议题的大杂烩已经足以震荡观众的味蕾。其原因，才是当下观众或不是观众的人们，所面临的困境与无力——揭露出这些，是本片对国内观影环境的最大价值。
（８／１０）两个独立的故事。三筱终于有专属篇章了。
中文翻译成宿敌是什么鬼，直译过来应该是人民的名义才对嘛！
题材加两星，叙事一般般，想表达的东西很多，由于要加入反转前边铺垫显得过长，很多细节通过音乐一笔带过，整个时长拉的太多，整体来说这个剧本表达的不够简洁。
48:33 警察在街道上追捕犯罪嫌疑人的这个场景，应该是想表达，他们很低调的，不以警察的身份来追捕嫌犯的过程，因为前面有交代过4名犯罪嫌疑人为政府的党派做过一些脏活。但是在这一时刻警车离开时，并没有亮警灯，而音效师画蛇添足地加了一段警笛的音效，就和前面低调行事而相矛盾。
无法不推荐。如果不是这个起步的评分，很可能因为这一句话的剧情简介错过。
对于一部题材如此大尺度的电影，你不得不感慨，虽然印度穷乱，但是印度的电影却一直在往新的高度挑战。
每个妖怪都在提醒着夏目，他人类几十年的寿命在妖怪的一生中多么短暂，它们将来一定会怀念和夏目遇见的这短暂的一瞬间，不知道对立于当下，以人类的尺度还有漫长一生在眼前的夏目而言，是怎么样错乱的心情。
前半部分有点无聊，后半部分反转很惊喜，政治统治者利用媒体，法律来控制人民的头脑，媒体报道的真相并不一定是真相，连法律都能为之所用。庆幸的是有人敢站出来，敢拍出来，令人敬佩。
52min弃，实在太长了。。。
最后律师啥情况没整明白，警察那段搞清楚了。好烦，拍的如此隐晦。
从这个电影也可以看出来，各国都是天下乌鸦，一般黑 ，哪里都差不多
量太大太撑了，印度电影就这点让我有点水土不服
