    Brave Effort

    Bunch of good actors made this story to next level. Very gripping bold strong and shocking story line and sequences!!! Well made 👍

    DARK & GRITTY SIDE OF THE SYSTEM..!!

    The movie very truthfully portrays the ongoing deterioration of the Indian education system. Halahal (meaning "venom") is set against the backdrop of the 2013 Vyapam Scam: a medical entrance-exam and admission racket that featured junior officials, coaching institutes and top ministers, as well as "accidental deaths" of potential whistle-blowers and loose ends. A personal perspective allows the hidden world to be revealed to the viewer in bits and pieces; morality acquires the language of suspense. One begins to question his own surrounding & perspective thereof while watching the film beacause the film communicates with you on such a depth that it makes you think hard enough & being a medical student myself it really hit me hard. I will not reveal much of the plot, you just have to go & watch it yourself. Everything including the script, screenplay, story & other aspects are spot-on while acting by Sachin Khedekar & Barun Sobti deserves a special mention beacause both of them are excellent & flawless in this film. It is a wonderful eye-opening piece of Indian cinema which should not be missed. Kudos to the creators!!

    Good attempt

    It was a very good attempt by the director Randeep jha as he tried to change the final result in to a different content

    Very gripping and not a single minute was dragged

    Barun and Sachin played really well and carried the movie with all the thrills till the end

    Guys it has a very unique and different ENDING pls don't miss that

    A worth watching

    Sensor free OTT👏(7* by debojyoti)

    The advantage of not having a sensor board on the OTT platform.Otherwise,they would not have allowed such a movie to be released. A little different kind of movie about corruption in education.👏👍

    But it would have been better if the movie was a little bigger.Because we needed to shed some more light on such a good issue.😒

    I don't know why Sachinji is so underrated even though he is a very good actor.He has a lot more to give to Bollywood.👌👏🙏🙏

    Badly executed

    The film tried to show practicality but failed during execution. The story starts well but loses track in the middle. The twist at the end could have been shown in a better way. It all ended so abruptly by just trying to join the dots anyhow.
