    Loved the movie

    Movie's story and emotions inculcated, keep you overwhelmed and persistent removal of surprising layers of story keeps your interest intact till the end. Direction by Sunaina Bhatnagar is indeed worth appreciating.

    An Underrated movie that deserves much more

    I'm surprised how thick movie had a reading lesser than 6. This movie is so beautifully done with a lively story and moral that tells you there's more to life. Much more.

    Beautifully, very beautifully done. The 2 new young actors acted so naturally. Manisha hasn't lost her acting edge.

    Beautiful and inspiring

    Very beautiful and inspiring story. Beautiful captured though slow pace of the story kills the fun. Songs are also good.

    If you need inspiration in your life then you must watch this movie.
