Sudhir Mishra is one of the directors we reckon with, ever since IS RAAT KI SUBAAH NAHIN and several more great films he has been known for making great films. Yeh Saali Zindagi is another addition to those. The film may seem chaotic but it's treated superbly by Mishra. The film is very complicated to start with, with numerous voiceovers, narrators being changed from character to character yet it's all amazingly handled. The film moves in flashback mode, slowly we are introduced to the numerous characters and the twists and turns keep you hooked. In fact even smaller characters are given great detail and it's well woven into the screenplay. Sudhir Mishra known for making complicated films but yet handling them without being chaotic uses his midas touch yet again giving the film the extra sheen of the genius. The length also isn't too much 134 mins(16 reels) Music by Nishit Khan is superb and the songs are well woven Dialogues are superb, acidic yet powerful

Amongst actors all are given strong characters Irrfan Khan is superb as always, conveying all through his subtle expressions Chitraganda Singh is awesome in her role Arunoday Singh(who was recently seen in the terrible Jism 2 where he gave a terrible performance) was decent in this role, this was his 4th role after SIKANDAR, AISHA and MIRCH but somehow it was shown in the credits Introducing. He has a meaty role and does a good job Aditi Rao Hyderi is awesome, she played a cameo in Delhi 6 before but again she is shown introduced, she does a good job, recently she was seen in ROCKSTAR Amongst rest Yashpal Sharma, Sushant Singh are admirable as usual, Prashant Narayanan does get a shorter role but he is superb as always as Chote. Amongst rest all are good
