Set in Mumbai, Dial 100 follows the story of a strange call received by the Police Control Room by a mysterious woman. What follows next is a long and stormy night. The story isn’t very novel and if you are a cinephile, there would be plenty of similar stories that you would have witnessed on the silver screen. Plus, I had a major issue with the trailer, although it was interesting. It revealed far too many plot points which otherwise would have been decent to good  ones while watching the film. The production houses really need to be assured in not cutting trailers as if it will reveal the entire plot. The screenplay is a bit of a mixed bag. It begins on a slow note with long scenes between a few characters. It slightly picks up pace in the middle before again slowing down towards the backend. The issue with the screenplay was that it was predictable. I could guess the twists from a mile away. Yes, some parts of the climax was unexpected, but overall it was predictable. On the positive front, some parts are quite engaging and will keep you booked. But the slackened and inconsistent pacing does remain a thorn in the flesh. The premise is extremely good but an above average screenplay is how I would put it.
