Killer Soup by Abhishek Chaubey is a fascinating black comedy that succeeded really well in establishing its absurdity. When your main theme has to do something with the existence of a doppelganger, it is quite possible to get dragged into the criticism of being illogical.

Khufiya from Vishal Bhardwaj, his second OTT release in a span of one week, is pretty eventful when you look at the script.
