We know that we can never run away from problems. At some point, we have to face them. You need to forgive yourself if you need some peace of mind. This message is the heart of this film.

If you like self-indulgent, unhurried, elegantly executed artistic films, then this one is for you. All the songs here have proper meaning and are cathartic. Each and every actor has done a decent job but Arjun Mathur stands out of the crowd.

But instead of having beautiful visuals, it drifts away from the track and doesn’t want to come back.

Once there is a loss in the past, it starts haunting. There is nothing new which adds to the story or to take it forward. The stagnancy gets ineffective and repetitive beyond the point.

If you like to see such a melancholic film, this one is for you.
