    Conceptual

    First of all, The cinematography. It seemed so real I was like how did they even shot such real life event in away that doesn't even feel like its a movie. Its like a hidden camera recoding moments. Dialogues, acting, playful nature of each character. Hats off to all and Congratulations for achieving a Milestone at Kashish Pride Film Festival. Meeting you first hand was a different experience and after watching your Work of Art, respect and administration skyrocketed

    Please do more like these we need such content out there to wake people and come to their senses.

    Lovee your work and dedication.

    Raw and impactful

    Relished it ..it was one of the most genuine amazing film without asking for any "aww", "so sad" or anything for that matter. . It never became a pity party or it never shamed any behaviour.. it Just showed how things are. It didn't villainise anything either .. Just raw and true.

    And yes loved the documentary style of editing.

    Would wait for next work from the filmmaker.

    Queer/trans representations are rarely this raw , unsettling, relatable, genuine and most importantly entertaining. It manages to make you laugh at the oddest possible turn of events deliberately, no reaction from any scene is unintentional. Such a self aware piece of work.

    Poignant depiction of emotion

    "Having finally seen the movie, I am deeply moved and immensely proud of the experience. The film, with its raw and poignant depiction of emotions, left a profound impression on me. From beginning to end, the authenticity of the scenes and the emotional depth conveyed through Bonita's character were palpable. It is remarkable how her family, cast, and crew, all meticulously assembled by her and the 1719 Film Factory, contributed to creating such a compelling and heartfelt film."- and the great thing was it was a movie which decide the genzzz dating virtue's on a queer gender and how non chalant this society is .

    A slap to the faces

    Watched this beautiful film on 19th may in Kashish film festival and i feel Bonita Rajpurohit has done a fine job It wouldn't have been easy to pull this off so effortlessly but then the director and also Acting the Film has now got the responsiblity of moving only upwards from the sky as she has marvelled the genre with this gem Lovely how she used the satire to slap the people with the decayung mentality. The cinematography the editing the sound all on point and could not have asked for anything more but a longer film but guess what it does maked it look like a perfect picture Fun,Emotional and a Tearjerker !

    Perfect Youth Depiction

    Enjoyed and related to every bit of it. The film speaks for everyone who feels lost in the digital world of modern dating culture. More movies like this needs to come out from gen z filmmakers who can talk about their lived realities. The cast, the crew, the whole team did a great job. The acting style is very documentary like, doesnt feel performative, and the camera style is very dogma95 inspired. It's crazy how they pulled it off in minimum budget. The emotions and expressions are very nuanced in the film just like how we react in our real life. This is a perfect depiction of current youth.
