About the Author

Sunil Garodia By our team of in-house writers.

420 IPC (streaming on Zee5) is a taut courtroom and financial scam thriller that is engaging to watch with excellent acting by Vinay Pathak and Ranvir Sheroy. The director, Manish Gupta (Rahasya, Section 375) keeps things under control by not letting the story meander and making the events believable.

A chartered accountant, Bansi Keswani, who counts top bureaucrats and builders among his clientele, is first questioned if he knows how his client Sandesh Bhonsale, deputy director of MMRDA, siphoned off a huge Rs 1200cr from a project. He is let off when the CBI does not find anything incriminating in his records. Keswani is shown to be not financially well-off as his home EMIs are not paid for many months and an eviction notice is issued by the bank.

But very soon, he is picked up by the police for lifting 3 signed cheques from the office of his client Sinha (Arif Zakaria) a top builder who is now facing financial problems. The public prosecutor Sewak jamshedji (Ranvir Sheroy) wants to build a tight case to send Keswani in jail but the defense counsel Birbal Choudhary (Rohan Mehra) does some sleuthing to discover a huge conspiracy and a colossal money laundering operation that brings the two cases together.

So is Keswani guilty? You have to find out yourself by watching the film.

The support actors like Gul Panag as Keswani's wife and Rohan Mehra as the defense lawyer play their parts well although Mehra fumbles at times in the court room. But Pathak does a suitable restrained act and Sheroy is excellent as he completely copies Parsi mannerisms and has this excellent haughty demeanor while facing a much junior lawyer in court.
