    Nushrratt Bharuccha needs to go back to drama swchool

    The story of an Indian women caught up in the cruelty of the Islamic State. With its barbaric treatment of women, would have been great, had it not been for the film director failing to properly direct the movie''s star.

    In the first part of the film, Nushrratt Bharuccha utter fails to rise to the challenge of portraying and expressing emotions. Her acting is fake and unconvincing. Her face when the scene calls for showing pain, distress and anxiety is very poorly acted, in fact her mimic and facial expression are at best that of a trauma student who has failed the second course in drama school. It just is overacted, put on, and unconvincing. Having a very pretty face is is no substitute for great acting, which a serious film, such as this one, calls for. It is a great pity that the director was not able to bring out a better performance from Nushrratt Bharuccha.

    A young Indian woman fights for survival in a war-torn nation and is at the story's center.

    A young Indian woman fights for survival in a war-torn nation and is at the story's center. A vivid depiction of a harrowing struggle to stay alive. There is no way to make this setup work better. The performance of NushratBarruchha kept playing in my thoughts. She's always been honest and open. She made a good case in her presentation. The director deserves appreciation for a job well done. If you find his work to be impressive, please tell others about it. I absolutely enjoy this film and have seen it several times. Personally, I'd put the number at five. Never a dull moment, that's for sure! Your mind will be completely blown. The director deserves depressions.

    Reasonable and compelling points are made. Nushratt Bharuccha always gives genuine, top-notch performances. As the plot progresses, so does the tension.

    There wasn't a bad act among the bunch. The director did a great job conveying both the human cost and the environmental devastation of war. Reasonable and compelling points are made. Nushratt Bharuccha always gives genuine, top-notch performances. As the plot progresses, so does the tension. An intriguing account of a normal Indian girl caught up in the violence and chaos of Iraq. Extremely poignant, especially the parts showing the real horrors of war. It was a nice way for me to relax on a Sunday. It's unparalleled in its ability to hold your attention. Its reasonablle and compelling points.

    Nushratt Bharuccha is the genuine article, and his performance is superb.

    Every single one of the actors was fantastic. The Director did a fantastic job of capturing the desolate landscape and sense of impending doom that accompanied the battle. There is a high level of discourse. Moreover, Nushratt Bharuccha is the genuine article, and his performance is superb. The story's tension builds with every new twist. A common Indian girl's experience in jail in war-torn Iraq makes for a fascinating subject. The pictures are stunning; they capture the true horror of war well. It was a pleasure to see throughout the weekend. It's guaranteed to keep you captivated to the fullest degree imaginable. One of the actors are fanastic.

    Nushrat is a very skilled performer. Her usual dedication to each and every role is admirable, but her work in this picture stands out.

    Superb writing, directing, and acting, especially from the protagonist. The ending falls short of my high hopes. The camera's constant panning results in blurriness or low lighting in certain scenarios. The fortuitous circumstances that allowed for the creation of this picture are readily apparent. Nushrat is a very skilled performer. Her usual dedication to each and every role is admirable, but her work in this picture stands out. Looking forward to this movie much. In my opinion, this is the most exciting role she has ever played. The director did a great job of bringing everything together. The most seminal film in history, and a must-see for fans of web series. Each individual is well realized, and the directing is superb. Its is a superb movie.
