Helps you re live your college days when largest issues of life were, someone seeing your classmate for an extra 30 seconds.
A trek into nearby jungle and its adventures were like climbing Mount Everest and surviving it . And then all the fun of arguments over simple decisions that we would then think deserves a national level debate and putting everyone in their rightful place with arguments is the goal of life.
For those who come a long way ahead in life this movie reminds of college days adventures and simplicity of life and decisions back then .
Also admire how well these new kids have done for their age and experience.
Go in with easy expectations from the movie , can multitask and watch movie in first half ,second half takes a little bit of your focus but overall super chill and pleasant movie . Can sit back and watch teens dealing with their largest life issues (including first time acting challenges) on a relaxed Sunday .
May remind some of you of a friend or a stupid adventure of your own from college times . Easy low stress movie.

A worth watch movie, depicting the pychotic disturbances caused by drug use. Apart from giving a good message to society, it also had a thriller experience especially in the second half of the movie.
Excellent cinematography and background score. The background music added to wilderness . Camera captured the stunning forest excellently.
Coming to the drawbacks, plot for the movie was so short and most of the frontline characters were newfaces.
Firat half of the movie is a bit slow ,showing the usual college life , but second half gives a blood boiling thriller experience Overall a worth watch movie.

This is not a movie but a series of meaningless, illogical scenes merged together to make a random 2+ hour random video clip that should not even be allowed to be uploaded on Youtube let alone play in a theater. All the 10 star and postive reviews are obviously fake its pathetic! Nobody with half a brain would rate this movie anything more than one star.
To begin with the plot is abysmal, the actors are random kids with absolutely no telent in acting.
To the actor and the director of the movie find something else with your free time-dont even attempt to make another film. Yoy guys are talentless.

Dear director ,
Before creating a cinema you must atleast watch movies of 2 years in pan india to know the trend.
My advice to Hero and director This is not your field.... Pathetic story telling Screen play Direction Acting.
Even 30 minutes web series released in YouTube is better than this filim.
Overall uninspired," "clumsy," "unnecessary," "unengaging," "forgettable," "bland," "dull," "disappointing," "poorly written," "unconvincing," "uninspired," and "a waste of time" rapidly changing world.
The film delves into the theme of identity, exploring how individuals navigate their cultural heritage while embracing the modern world. The characters grapple with the pressures of societal expectations and the desire to forge their own paths, often leading to conflicts and introspection. The film also touches upon the theme of belonging, highlighting the importance of community and the search for a sense of home in a world that often feels fragmented.
