      Majid never disappoints

      This is not among Majid's best works but it is still very watchable and heads and shoulders above most Bollywood films. It is a moving story of two families whose lives get entwined after a desperate girl injures an obsessed man whilst defending herself. Majid is a genius at weaving moments of hope and joy amidst a bleak backdrop. The acting is top notch and Ishaan emotes well - a solid start for a debutant. The movie fared poorly at the box office as is often the case for little gems with no 'face value'. Ishaan is a newcomer and Majid is not known outside the festival circuit in India. Thank goodness for Netflix though - it provides a platform for such movies to reach a much wider audience.

      Great cinematic experience with script make is worth watch

      Direction:

      Famous Iranian filmmaker and prestigious award winner Majid Majidi want to recreate the magic of his movie children of Heaven with Indian backdrop. He showcase his cinematic excellence on Canvas and walls. The best thing about his direction is brilliantly capture human emotions especially sibling bonding.

      Performance:

      This movie is really great debut for Ishaan Khatter. His acting was really awesome through out the movie. Malavika Mohanan looks good in the role of elder sister. G.V. Sharda also impressive with only Tamil dialogues. There was very little scope for Tannishtha Chatterjee as supporting role due to short length of role.

      Script:

      Story line has great resemblance with Hollywood film Slumdog millionaire however this movie failed to reach that label. Great inclusion of Sibling bonding, friendship, betrayal and common human emotions in script. Climax left many questions unanswered and that's why this is different cinema.

      Music:

      A.R.Rahman has collaborated with Majid Majidi second time after Muhammad: The Messenger of God. Song "Ala Re Ala" was good one.

      Box-office:

      As this is low budget movie, so box-office collection will not be a bog concern. Starting day collection was lower than expected collection however it will gain the momentum in the coming days.

      Last Words:

      Please avoid this movie if you hate artistic approach in cinema.

      Heart Touching

      Indeed a great attempt by the genius. He's always real, natural with rich blend of human emotions. I always loved watching his movies and this movie shows the plight of the very poor in Mumbai or Bombay streets, most applicable to all metros in India.

      Movie with more realistic !

      First of all I would like to say Triple Congratulations to the director, hero and heroine of the movie. Hero has lot of talents and shown up in the movie (especially I like the robot dance steps) and Heroine acted very good in all different role plays.

      Big Salute to the director and enlightened the risk of being more alcoholic persons, dealing with drugs and using ladies for fun objects. Some of the scenes are shown through the Shadow that is really mesmerizing.

      I liked the movie very much and big salute to the entire team!! Well done guys!

      It made me cry !

      This film a treat for a human mind which always wants a square in life..! This film teaches us that Life is what happens to you when you are busy making other plans. Hats off to Ishaan Katter, Malvika and of course Director Majidi. Suggestion for viewers:- Watch it at night...watch it alone ! You will start apprenticing your life and will never curse the life for what you don't have. A must watch !!
