      I am left frustrated...

      ...and a feeling of disgust for the people who allow this to carry on. Would have been interesting to hear something from the side of the people who carry out these evil acts. I cannot understand how they justify their evil to themselves. Aren't they all supposed to be religious? Film a bit slow at times but glad I watched it. Well done for getting it made which I can imagine must have been difficult.

      Pity it was only shown at 1:55am on Channel 4 - can't have had many viewers at that time. I may have seen better acting, but the cast certainly moved me at times, and the simplicity suited the story.

      Atrocities of casteism 😞

      It's been three years since this movie's release n i got no idea as to why there is not even a single review so far. Am so happy to be the very first one to do it.

      Not that this movie is a masterpiece or a blockbuster, but it's gut wrenching nonetheless - not in the traditional sense.

      It takes a look into untouchability, lower caste problems, how people struggle 'cos of it and some irreparable results. The movie depicts an actual true incident, its harsh reality and what the people involved in it faced.

      It is jus' a 0.5% view of what some unlucky people undergo everyday all over India. It's so saddening even in this 21st century how such stupid incidents happen and how idiotic people are.

      There is no commercial aspect to this movie and can understand that might be one of the reasons why this movie didn't garner the large amount of viewings and publicity or the attention it should actually have had. Also, the subject matter handled is very delicate even for today's society.

      The BG music starts only at the 46th minute of the movie.

      The director, actors and the technicians have done fair justice (yes, justice is different from fair justice) to their parts.

      My review is purely plot/story based and not technical-wise. The only drawback I saw was that some scenes could have been cut short by 5 or 10 secs.

      If you have not watched this - kindly do urself a favour n go watch it, and remember, it's a true story - every bit, every scene, all the way.

      Available on netflix.

      It is a story to be told

      It is a story to be told. However, no one will like it. Truth is always bitter. The movie highlights the plight of people and their suffering. Even a burial is denied. This movie is not for people who like Masala movies. It is a gut wrenching movie. I saw it accidentally and glad that I saw it. The performances might not be top notch. But the story is too good. My rating is for the story and the theme.
