    outstanding movie

    Movie is fabulous. it's not a common "movie" movie. it's a feeling of all the common people who are suffering from the corruption burden, who need to give comission to take what is rightfull to them.

    Slow start but great finish

    Good story an screenplay, great performance by all actors...Heart wrenching twist and climax..

    Very well executed, thought provoking movie

    Slow pace at times but shows how system is and how corrupt it is. Very well directed by mansore and team.
    8harondsouza

    One blood boiling and relatable movie!

    The perspective of this movie is very nicely taken with one great background story with crisp editing and amazing story line!

    The actors have all done a great job!! The story is amazing and it somehow relates to everyone of us.. How this system of corruption has hollowed and how things are wrong are taken in common just because its practised by everyone! 120 min of mind-blowing content!!

    Kudos.. Proud of Kannada film industry!!
