A quick note on the film's 100% rating on RT... Andhadhun is a good example of both: how Indian critics have slightly higher default ratings; and how sometimes a 100% RT rating doesn't mean a film is perfect, only that everyone seems to agree it's pretty good. Looking through the reviews, a frequent rating seems to be 3.5/5, which feels about right.

This is a very Bollywood popcorn movie, but ceaselessly fun within that lens.

I saw it last month. I thought it was a confusing mix of moods and tropes.

Apparently, it was inspired by a short French film called The piano tuner.
