A good film is like a jigsaw that you can almost finish before it’s done—every missing piece sparks a “wait a minute” moment, but if the final picture is just a recycled tropic in a new suit it’s a cliché. In a noir‑Bollywood mash‑up, the real test is whether the twist adds a new layer to the story’s cultural texture or just rehashes the same “he’s been dead the whole time” gag. If the twist forces you to re‑read earlier scenes with fresh meaning, you’ve got a clever twist. If it’s a one‑liner that feels like a lazy callback, it’s a cliché in disguise. The line is thin, but it’s all about depth, not just shock value.

Right on—no one wants a twist that’s just a stunt. If the layers are meaningful, the audience will feel the payoff, not the “watch me be clever” vibe. Stick to the story, let the culture shine through, and the mystery will stay fresh.
