Blackmail

Blackmail (2018) is Abhinay Deo's Indian black-comedy thriller, available to watch online on iFILM. Dev is a bored office drone stuck in a beige routine — until the night he comes home and finds his wife with another man.

Instead of making a scene, Dev cooks up something craftier: he starts anonymously blackmailing both of them. The money rolls in and the scheme looks airtight, but extortion breeds counter-extortion, and one lie hooks into the next until the whole plan slips loose and turns on Dev himself. Irrfan Khan takes the lead, with Kirti Kulhari and Arunoday Singh alongside him.

It's a satire on middle-class hypocrisy where everyone is lying to everyone, the plot knotting itself tighter with each twist of gallows humor. Irrfan Khan's dry, needling deadpan carries the whole thing. One for fans of twisty Indian thrillers with a bitter laugh. Stream Blackmail (2018) online on iFILM.
