Pankaj Tripathi is solid, with a few rough edges

Pankaj Tripathi gives this role a little extra shape without making a big show of it. The quieter stuff works better than the bigger beats. I like the idea of the performance more than the full result. Some scenes click, some just sit there. I would not call it bad, just not as sharp as it could have been. I can see someone else being kinder to it, but I did not fully get there.
