Protagonists discuss karats and cutting of sparkling solitaire, corporate-terrorist outfit nexus, smuggling and mixing of blood diamonds with clean ones but when it comes to elaborating, documenting the workings of this particular industry or dwelling deep into the criminal aspect, there's nothing - not even on a obligatory level.

Blood Money is inexcusably one-note and short on buildup - things just happen one after the other like a flat, muted series of badly-shot stilted music videos. Only this is not The Firm and its sloppily written script is incapable of constructing gravity or drama. Blood Money truly had the potential to develop into a quirky B-horror at this point by planting a creepy witch in the closet or something but they choose to explore a predictable territory with its bland retelling of how success leads to corruption and how realisation can find redemption.

It's about a newly married couple - Kunal (Kunal Khemu) and Arzoo (Amrita Puri) who comes to Cape Town with starry-eyed dreams that are instantaneously fulfilled when he joins a leading diamond exports firm.
