Diljit Doshanj’s Detective Sherdil’s review: Fun-mystery had potential, but ended up being semi-engaging
Detective Sherdil revolves around the murder-mystery of ‘Arvind Mehta’, a wealthy industrialist. ‘Arvind Mehta’ was found dead in his mansion, which his daughter suspected was a murder. On top of that, the businessman, who died reportedly, left his fortune to his daughter’s beau and the family dog. The investigation was given to the investigator, Diljit Doshanj, who, in general, is famous in the area for his goofy nature and luxury fashion. The plot is set in the background of Budapest, and as soon as the investigation began, it felt lighter, but eventually, it ended up bringing layers of an onion.
