A feel good movie..

One of the best movies in recent times about life journey.. Takes us back to the roots from village entertainment drama cultural shows to city jazz music entertainment nights. A must watch movie for everyone and especially music lovers..

A sombre look at the life of a lonely musician.

The film is a fine example of India's independent film scene. The film is underrated as much as it is misunderstood. It opens like a film that is dealing with a man looking for romance and love. But hidden deep in its layers is a subtle portrayal of an ordinary man looking for meaning in his existence, quite simply looking for a reason to live.

Swaroop kanchi as panda, a struggling musician shines as a complex man- child unsure of his own decisions. His subtle and restrained portrayal seeps into your subconsciousness and its a character that is hard to forget.

Padmavati rao aces her role as Katyayini an older stand up comedienne. Her story unravels in a way that is quite unexpected.

A really good film for anyone interested in good storytelling. It is moving and philosophical with its moments.

Well made movie, worth watching

Good performance the entire star cast, Padmavati Rao has played a good role in this movie. Fabulous direction by Swaroop Kanchi, there's a good mix between romance and comedy and the emotions are brought out well. Enjoyable music through out the movie.
