What worked:
- the movie as a whole works; one of the few movies in Hindi which is beautifully shot, edited, written and directed. The ensemble cast are justifiable and these characters have their own subplot and layers on them. I was pleasantly surprised by the camera work. The movie is thin sliced narrative with multiple plots working together on the wholesome theme. The set design, costume and dialogues are rich which adds to the music and culture of the Portuguese Goan.
What did not work:
- slowburn; the narrative is diverted and the movie takes a bit more time to set the mood of the movie.Although the movie is engaging and rich, we keep wondering for most of the movie where it is directing, at least for me personally.
- metaphorical; the title of the movie gains its worth once the movie experience is completed and wisely contemplated. I wish I would have some references or some more scenes that lead me to justify the title. There is some but I would have wanted more.
Final verdict: highly recommended, keep your window open and enjoy the experience
