Pushtaini

Albeit quite refreshing and so in touch with Pahadi culture while giving a glimpse of the good and bad of Hindi film industry, as a character in the movie would keep repeating, it was kind of all over the place. The climax was particularly disappointing resulting in a fairytale-like ending. Strong acting debut, good writing, but direction needs some work. Score was pleasant, especially the folk music was so good. The film had a lot of characters and managed to deal with them in a good manner, giving depth, development and arcs to them. I wish the film had released in more screens and more people would have gone to watch it, but maybe next to zero marketing was a big reason why it didn't do well even in Uttarakhand.
