True! Shocking if this don't bag a bunch of National awards & isn't our official Oscar submission. Across the board.. script, direction..ufff the acting. Both the Balans!! Jeez..how did Dir keep both kids stay soulful, verbally restrained & in character when questions are constantly barked at them is just mind boggling. Mollywood's magic wand turned a super simple script with handful of characters in to a juggernaut movie experience. BGM...OMG was so subtly immersive.

What a beautiful film—so sincere, so heartfelt, and deeply moving. It touches the soul with its honesty and reminds us of the quiet beauty of love, life, struggle and the human heart. A truly touching movie that stays with you long after the final scene.

The film did not touch me at all. For a psychological drama about trauma and a mother son bond to actually impact an audience, you have to deeply care about the emotional stakes. Movie spent so much time being vague, secretive & stylish. But, it forgot to build a genuine, relatable emotional heartbeat. It survived till the end because the direction manipulated the tensions perfectly. Direction heavily over compensated for a hollow script.

Bloody Hell!!! what a movie!!! it has been so long since i watch a good movie. This is beyond good. The story escalated so well and so fast, it was like a water flow, just kept going... highly recommend it. The story was like a good hollywood neo-noir thriller. just amazing! everything was put together so well!!! It would be insulting if i mention a specific character line was good because everyone did such a great job!!! But the grandma reminded me of mine, she was not that fiesty but i was reminded of her. Must Watch is rightly labeled for this movie!
