had more potential, 9 October 2001
Author: udayaraja1 (udayaraja1@gmail.com) from baltimore

as a film student, and as an indian i think i had too much expectation for the film. I loved the concept as well ideas expressed, as i could totally relate to the film. however, it wasnt as polished a movie as I'd like, and some of it was so corny i wanted to hit mute to finish out a scene. overall, the acting was decent for a small film, but the editing was par and the story was way too predictable.
