However, the film takes a sharp turn when Roy suffers a heart attack and is told he has only a few months to live. This is where Bluffmaster! reveals its true nature. Unlike pure heist films that prioritize plot mechanics, Bollywood’s narrative DNA demands emotional and moral closure. Roy’s terminal diagnosis is not merely a plot twist; it is a mechanism for redemption. His final con becomes a moral education for a young cynic (played by Nana Patekar in a cameo), and perhaps for himself. The film asks: Can a liar use his final days to teach honesty? The answer, delivered through a double-layered twist ending, is both clever and emotionally satisfying. Screenwriter: Shridhar Raghavan
