    8/10

    Fear of the dark; mentality and the society

    What worked:
    • plots and subplots with the stories of violence and stereotypes in the lives of many individuals in Mumbai
    • the movie has some of the fine actors and their performances are worth praising


    What did not work:
    • some plot holes and uneven story telling; not complaining but could have been better I suppose
    • the movie focused mainly from one religious perspective and the scenes seemed repetitive and so cliche, adding few newness to the characters and narration
    Final verdict: Recommended.
