    IGNORE ALL REVIEWS

    Don't make any conclusion before watching this masterpiece. Certainly your eyes might be arrested by this spectacle. It's an 'Ajab' performance with outlandish 'kissa'.

    Hats off.....Mr. Buddhadev Dasgupta.....true artistry

    Why it is underrated?

    The director and Nawazuddin Siddiqui create a lovely, beautiful, and beguilingly poetic chronicle of life, people, places, spaces, loneliness, togetherness, longing, belonging, allusions, reality, faith, fate, and more. I'm glad I watched it.

    Even Nawazuddin and Pankaj tripathi could'nt save it

    You rarely come across boring movie of Nawazuddin and this was unfortunately that boring movie which you want to leave in the middle. The intent and the philosphical nature of the cinema is understandable but still I was unable to relate to a single frame in the movie.

    This isn't a movie, it's AN ART

    One word, this movie is an ''ART'' I love everything about it. Breathtakingly beautiful cinematography. Melancholic background score. Adorable friendship. Incredible performance of Nawaz.
