climax inspired by 'Blood Simple (1984)'?
Its not copied for sure but it looks like Abbas-Mustan is inspired by the hide-and-seek part of Coen Brother's Blood Simple.
I dont think so...
In blood simple, there are lots of twists and the plot is a lot more complicated...
Nothing to take away from Khiladi though...Khiladi is more like one-murder-mystery and covering-the-tracks which leads them to deeper complications.
